More about Evan

How did you get into software?

Completely by chance. I was at a career fair looking for teaching jobs and was offered a paid internship to learn web technologies. A few days in, I was hooked. I love the mix of creativity, learning, and complex problem-solving that’s needed as a software engineer.

What does your desktop/home screen look like?

Basic unmodified Mac.

Why are you at Resend?

I’ve known Zeno for a long time, but reading the public Resend handbook sold me on the company. I love the idea of being at a company that clearly values excellence but has no place for ego. This, combined with the fact that they genuinely want to help their users, made me really want to join!

Where do you find #inspiration?

I find inspiration in anything done excellently. This could be a well-presented meal, a musician who has perfected their craft, or a perfectly designed tool that is both durable and functional. It encourages me to strive for excellence in my own work by finding new and creative ways to solve problems.

If you weren't programming, what would you be doing?

I’d like to be woodworking or running a hobby farm with a farm shop. Definitely still creating something with my hands.

Favorite tool?

Any web browser. The internet is a magical place.

Favorite hotkey?

Cmd+t

I open way too many browser tabs and never want to close one.

Favorite place to visit?

A beautiful trail for running. Two of my favorite spots are the mountains where I grew up in Juneau, Alaska, and the public paths of Oxfordshire in the UK where my wife is from.

Advice for ambitious software engineers?

Stay curious and always look for ways to improve. Be creative about finding ways to enjoy what you do. There’s joy in the little things.
