Hi, I'm Evan!
I use my Software Engineering, Product Management, and Leadership skills to build teams that create world-class digital products.
I am the head of engineering at Arcade.dev, I advise startups, and am the creator of Actionherojs.

After 14 years of building Actionhero, I built a new framework from scratch. Keryx lets you write one Action class and deploy it across HTTP, WebSocket, CLI, background tasks, and MCP — all with the same validation and middleware.

As professional developers, we /probably/ don’t deploy code directly to production and we /usually/ test things first. There’s a whole world of tools and best practices like Git Flow, Continuous Integration, and Review Apps to help us build and deploy our apps and websites... but what about the developer tools we use every day? This talk will focus on how to parallel some of these same best-practices when making developer tools and frameworks. Together we will build a CI/CD pipeline for publishing to packages to NPM.
