Become a sponsor to Christoph Nakazawa
Hi, I’m Christoph. For over 25 years I’ve been building open source tools that shape how millions of developers work, including projects I created like Jest, Metro, Yarn and jscodeshift. I previously led JavaScript Infrastructure and managed the React Native team at Facebook in Menlo Park and London.
Today, I work as an Engineering Director at Cloudflare and as CEO of Nakazawa Tech in Tokyo. Recently, I’ve been building:
- Athena Crisis — an open source turn-based strategy game built from scratch
- fate — a modern data client for React & tRPC
- Codiff — a fast diff viewer with walkthroughs
- fbtee — the JavaScript & React Internationalization Framework
- ReMDX — beautiful Minimalist React & MDX Presentations
- Starter templates: Mobile App, Web App, Server Template
- and way more…
I write about Frontend Development, Engineering Management, Leadership, and User Experience.
Open source has shaped my journey since I first published a project in 2006 and joined GitHub in June 2008. Your support enables me to dedicate more time to open source, and gives you early access to the technology and products I’m building.
