By day, I'm the Senior Director of Developer Relations at @Kong. By night, I'm a parent, writer and programmer (though usually not all at the same time).

You can find all my writing atmichaelheap.com, including posts on#github and#github-actions.

Project wise, I'm working on a new version oftrello-cli, building out tools fordocs.konghq.com and continuing to keep two small humans alive.

Outside of work, I contribute to the GitHub ecosystem as aGitHub Star and anOpenAPI Business Governance Board alumni.

In a previous life, I:

• Led a team of 25 people focused on Developer Experience at @Vonage
• Spent a decade as a developer, working commercially with (in chronological order): PHP, Node, Python, Go and most recently, Ruby
• Ran an infrastructure team that used Terraform and Chef to deploy to Azure
• Recorded avideo course for Packt publishing on Mastering Express Applications
• Wrote abook on Ansible for Apress (and contributed a module to Ansible itself)

Today, you'll find me buildingGitHub Actions,CLI tools andOctokit plugins.
