ABOUT ME

Staff Engineer @ Netflix, solve complex async issues or mentor

Just re-enabled my profile, 10 years later. Looking to help unblock and level-up other folks, rather than big projects where I'm simply coding for you. Code reviews, debugging, pairing sessions, etc. By far the most common thing people say to me is "I learned so much in such a short time." I'm well versed in helping others in my day job, as well plenty of prior mentoring/consulting work.

Staff Software Engineer @ Netflix working on Shared Client Foundations, working across the stack, but with a focus on the foundational needs of the UI clients for TV, Web, iOS, and Android, with historical emphasis on JavaScript-based clients.

While I'm an expert in a lot of niche topics, I have a very strong reputation of being able quickly solve very complex async programming tasks/issues in JavaScript, largely due to my deep understanding of how JS and common UI frameworks actually work under the hood, such as React.

I'm also extremely well versed in advanced RxJS, WebAssembly, and other compiler-related things.

See this blogpost and talk for a taste of how I break down hard topics: https://medium.com/@jayphelps/backpressure-explained-the-flow-of-data-through-software-2350b3e77ce7
