About the Human

Hi, I'm Nicholas C. Zakas, an independent software developer, author, and coach living outside of Boston, Massachusetts. I've been a principal engineer at companies like Yahoo and Box. I created the ESLint open source project and wrote several books. Chronic illness forced me to leave the corporate world, and now I focus on helping others through my writing, coaching, and open source work.
