Hello! I am Donovan Preston. I first became heavily involved with programming and open source software through the Twisted Python project. I then went on to work on the bulk of the early code for eventlet. Python asyncio is now a part of the standard library, and I like to think that these projects influenced the direction of async programming in Python.

Later, I worked for Mozilla Research and then the Mozilla Services organizations. I helped with a project called dom.js (which now lives on as domino), implemented TCP and UDP apis for Firefox OS, worked on several experiments such as Firefox Screenshots (main developer at the beginning of the project) and Firefox Send (on the Android port). Finally, I worked on the port of the Firefox Sync server from Python to Rust. I gained extensive experience with ES.Next, React, TypeScript, and Rust.

Now, I have a small consultancy and have worked on several Swift apps, in addition to HTML/CSS and full stack web applications. I am looking to work on a team again and in-person is preferrable, although remote is ok.
