Ross Kuyper - Toy Face

Hi, I'm Ross Kuyper

I develop software, mostly using Node, React (& Native), Terraform, Postgres and DynamoDB; though I love to dabble in other wonderful pieces of tech.

Until recently I was also the CTO of Names & Faces, a Y Combinator company that builds beautiful, fast people directories that leaders need.

These days I'm mostly just enjoying the pro-leisure circuit while I figure out what's next.

Below you'll find some projects and experiments that I've been working on.
I'm also (slowly) writing out a personal personal handbook.
