Wez Furlong

Hi! I'm Wez and I've been working on Open Source projects since the late '90s. I've worked on quite a range of things from <a href="https://www.php.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PHP's</a> internals and extension ecosystem, through to automated debuggers and messaging systems, and I created both the <a href="https://github.com/facebook/watchman" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">watchman filesystem monitoring service</a> and the <a href="https://github.com/facebookexperimental/eden" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">EdenFS source control aware fuse filesystem</a>.My current focus is working on <a href="https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">WezTerm</a> - a powerful, feature-rich cross-platform terminal emulator that I created and have been maintaining since 2018.Your support will enable me to continue building and maintaining WezTerm. It can be challenging to support across all the different operating systems and environments. There are thousands of users, and even though there have been a few contributors, it's really just carried by me in my spare time.

1 hour of 1:1 time each month to cover anything that I know!I have 25 years of tech industry experience that is both broad and deep. Two areas in particular that I think might have appeal are:<ul><li>Career Growth. I've worked in small and large companies in various engineering roles, both as an individual contributor and as a manager, and most recently was a Principal Engineer at a FAANG. I've started successful projects and grown teams around them, and mentored engineers of all levels, from New Grads to Staff Engineers to help them grow. I can share what has worked for me and how I look at things.</li><li>Systems Software Engineering. Ranging from high level distributed systems architecture down to nitty gritty details at the firmware level. Want to figure out how to make something work in Rust or C/C++, or on multiple operating systems? Do you have a thorny problem that you'd like to Pair Program on? Want a code review?</li></ul>I'm happy to cover anything that I know, and not just what I've thrown together above.Ideally we'd meet across several sessions, but I'm also open to one-off sessions.<a href="https://wezfurlong.org/mentoring/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Please see my main Mentoring page</a> for more details on how this works.Please contact me via email at <a href="mailto:wez@wezfurlong.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wez@wezfurlong.org</a> before to signing up for this tier so that we can confirm that what you want to cover is suitable, and then coordinate the timing.Note: I'm based in Arizona and my availability will be based around reasonable hours in that timezone!
