Dice joins us from Tokyo, Japan!
He grew up in Seattle during flannel times and has automatically leveled up GitHub's knowledge of Studio Ghibli trivia.
Dice has been both a produce and product manager, and he's had a variety of tech-world adventures, including support, marketing, and development. He loves helping people explore Japan and though he can take many forms, he will now be helping you explore GitHub.
We're pleased to announce David Ginsburg is a GitHubber! David joins the Sales team as a Technical Account Manager. David's experience as a software developer will help our customers use GitHub successfully.
When David isn't hiking the hills of GitHub HQ, he loves cycling, doodling weird faces, juggling up to three balls at one time, sea cucumbers, and free-form dancing his heart out.
We're excited to welcome Joe Wadcan to the Sales team! Joe is joining us as a Technical Account Manager, and he'll be here to help answer all of your GitHub questions.
While Joe does enjoy brewing the best beer around these parts, he prefers to spend time kayaking and kicking sharks in the face. Seriously, he kicked a shark. If you're in San Francisco, you'll probably see Joe jogging around the Dogpatch or grabbing a brew at some local dive bars.
We're excited to welcome Devin Reams to the GitHub family! Devin has joined the Sales team as a Technical Account Manager where he'll be helping our customers make the most of GitHub.
When he's not growing a beautiful, fiery beard, you'll find Devin brewing all sorts of delicious beer. You may also spot him skiing the slopes of Colorado or jogging around his hometown of Denver.
GitHub is delighted to welcome Emily Nakashima to the front-end team!
Emily loves all things web perf, css, ui & javascript. She speaks at conferences, meetups, grocery stores, and parking lots about client-side monitoring, javascript optimization, and page responsiveness, and we look forward to Emily deep diving into front end performance at GitHub.
In her free time Emily camps in Desolation Wilderness, canoes down the Russian River, and volunteers with RailsBridge! Her superpower is knowing all the awesome brunch places in Oakland. Follow her on GitHub and Twitter!
We're super excited to announce that GitHub has acquired Easel.
Matt Colyer and Ben Ogle started Easel because they weren’t satisfied with the workflow of designing for the web and believe that iterating on design should be straightforward and free of repetitive work. We could not agree more.
We're elated to now have Matt and Ben on the GitHub team!
For more on Easel, see the Easel blog post.
We're thrilled to welcome Dirkjan Bussink to the GitHub Systems team.
He'll be working on GitHub performance — building tools that bring visibility to slowness, speeding up everything from Ruby to MySQL, and eliminating inefficiencies wherever he finds them.
You might have seen Dirkjan's work on Rubinius, where he's the #2 contributor of all time. We'll be sure to put his impressive knowledge — ranging from high-level Rails code to low-level concurrency problems — to good use.
Dirkjan joins us from Enschede in the Netherlands. You can follow him on GitHub and Twitter as @dbussink.
Just in time for the new year, Colin joins us to boost the size of the Enterprise Support Team present in Europe. When not answering support requests or tending to his homebrew (not this kind), Colin may be seen running throughout the UK - with or without shoes.
You can follow Colin on GitHub and Twitter as @lildude, if you can keep up...
We're excited that Amy Palamountain has joined GitHub, to level up our Windows team!
Amy is based in Wellington, New Zealand, where she may or may not have made a cameo in the Lord of The Rings series. When not skiing through GitHub HQ and crashing into code, she enjoys hitting the slopes, sampling fine whiskies and beer, and engaging in all the shenanigans.
The GitHub Security Team has received an end of year gift in the form of a security operations engineer by the name of James White. James joins the team to help ensure our ever growing number of systems and networks stay secure.
Hailing from Nashville, TN, James enjoys powerlifting weights when not lifting other GitHubbers.
We're excited to welcome James to the family, and if you would like, please say hello to James on Twitter and here on GitHub.
This week, Jess Hosman joins GitHub as a supportocat!
Jess currently lives in Lowell, Massachusetts, where she takes pictures and makes things. She comes to us from O'Reilly, where she wielded the blade of XSLT scripts to help authors publish their tomes. Her +5 Charisma and +7 Wisdom will serve her well as she leads our users through the Forests of /foo.
GitHub has a video team called the Streaming Eagles. Pam is now one of them.
Bay Area recruits have been keeping a close watch on her incredible work down south in Hollywood. After tough negotiations, Pam finally decided to leave the Burbank Bunnies and sign with the GitHub Eagles. From Politics to Playboy, Pam has amassed a wealth of video editing experience that the Eagles stand to learn a lot from. We're thrilled to have her on the team.
You can follow Pam on GitHub.
The Enterprise Support team has grown by one as John joins us here at GitHub. When not at The Max, or chillin' with the guys, you can find him partaking in RUM, playing Guitar, and hanging out in the great state of Minnesota, dontcha know?
You can follow him @johnyerhot on GitHub, and more simply @yerhot on Twitter.
We're pleased to have Mike McQuaid join us as a Test Automation Engineer.
Mike resides in Edinburgh, Scotland where whisky is disappointingly not much cheaper than in the US. You may know him from his work on Homebrew.
When he's not automating all the things, Mike enjoys petting dogs, slapping his bass guitars, watching all the films and droning endlessly about Scottish politics.
