Hello, I'm Michael

github twitter linkedin

1/3 Engineer, 1/3 Educator, 1/3 Imaginer

By day, I'm the Senior Director of Developer Relations at @Kong. By night, I'm a parent, writer and programmer (though usually not all at the same time).

You can find all my writing at michaelheap.com, including posts on #github and #github-actions.

Project wise, I'm working on a new version of trello-cli, building out tools for docs.konghq.com and continuing to keep two small humans alive.

Outside of work, I contribute to the GitHub ecosystem as a GitHub Star and an OpenAPI Business Governance Board alumni.

In a previous life, I:

  • Led a team of 25 people focused on Developer Experience at @Vonage
  • Spent a decade as a developer, working commercially with (in chronological order): PHP, Node, Python, Go and most recently, Ruby
  • Ran an infrastructure team that used Terraform and Chef to deploy to Azure
  • Recorded a video course for Packt publishing on Mastering Express Applications
  • Wrote a book on Ansible for Apress (and contributed a module to Ansible itself)

Today, you'll find me building GitHub Actions, CLI tools and Octokit plugins.



Oh, and I self published a book + screencasts
on building your own GitHub Actions
