Hey there! I'm Blaine (you may know me as @blainebublitz or phated). I'm an avid open source creator & experimenter. I've also been the lead maintainer of gulp for many years.

In my spare time these days, I'm working on the Grain programming language, building tooling in the Reason, Rust, and ZK ecosystems.

In addition to my GitHub Sponsors, some of my open source maintenance work is funded via Tidelift.

Why open source?

My entire career has been influenced by open source.

• When I was just starting, I read all the source code I could find.
• I built a node.js consulting company using open source and gave back every piece of software I could.
• Now, I spend a lot of my time getting companies to participate in open source ecosystems!
