👋 Hi, I’m Jed Fox!

Heads up! I work for Apple now.
So probably no more personal projects for the forseeable future :(
But perhaps a small part of the surprise and delight you find yourself feeling when using the Instruments app will be because of my work :)

That said, if you are using one of my projects/apps and are interested in becoming a maintainer of it, please feel free to reach out over email or any of my contact methods overdown there and we can chat →↓

Serial project starter. Only those that made it close enough to the finish line are listed here.* Proficient in Swift, JavaScript, and TypeScript. Send me mail or an iMessage at jed@jedfox.com or DM me on Mastodon/Twitter/Keybase. My public key is available, if you would like to use it when sending me a message.

This page only lists projects I did in my free time — check out my LinkedIn to see my paid work. Check out this page to see everything I did for CS courses in college.
