Kevin R. Whitley

kwhitley
Houston, TX

I'm a long-time open source author/builder, passionate about creating more with less effort (and fewer bytes).

I'm likely most known for itty-router, which helped pave the way for the itty.dev ecosystem of micro libraries. Additionally, I'm in the process of launching ittysockets.com, a 100% free service to jump start the development of realtime apps.

Follow me @kevinrwhitley on Twitter | LinkedIn

P.S. - Your support helps speed up development on any OSS and community-focused projects, as well as fund more free services. I'm eternally grateful to each and every one of you who has chosen to support me in any way (even kind words!) 🙏

@kwhitley

Enable full time support of current/future OSS projects and continued development of tools with the mindset of "write less, do more". Currently it's quite difficult to juggle this in addition to tech leadership roles within companies!
