About

I talk about TypeScript for a living! I used to work on the XState core team, then at Vercel. Now, I teach workshops on TypeScript and build awesome resources at totaltypescript.com. Hire me to teach a workshop to your company, buy my course for your team, or just follow along for an endless stream of high-quality, advanced TS content.
