Hi, I'm Wesley. In the past, I worked on Fuchsia (a new, open-source operating system), wrote code for robots on Citrus Circuits, and hung out doing interesting things at the Recurse Center. I use they/them pronouns.
If you're in NYC and want to meet up over lunch/coffee to chat about the future of technology, get in touch with me.
