Hi‼ My name's Jordan, and I've gradually mutated over the last decade into being super obsessed with open source, backwards compatibility, and finding ways to balance what I feel are ethical obligations to all users of projects I interact with, with the very real problem of time management, burnout, and work/life balance.
I've been a part of TC39 (the committee that writes the specification for JavaScript) since 2014, and I was an editor of the specification from 2018-2021. I've been heavily involved in the node community for as many years, and I've gradually created (but mostly inherited or been gifted) a decent number of open source projects. I persist in trying to maintain them all with maximal back compat, the strictest adherence to semver, and the greatest respect for users.

| enzyme organization | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| es-shims organization | |||
| inspect-js organization | |||
| jsx-eslint organization | |||
| import-js organization | |||
| minimistjs organization | |||
… and many more on npm
this includes participation in working groups, committees, meetings, general issue triage, etcTC39 (JavaScript language committee)

Although open source is a huge part of my life, it's not the most important part - I have a spouse, kids, and a dog; bills to pay; and I also try to give back to the wider community.
