About Me

Last Update: Dec 17, 2023

Hi! My name is Aman Mittal. I am a software developer, and a technical writer. I love working with open source technologies and writing about what I learn.

Currently, I'm working on documentation at Expo. Previously, I've worked as a Developer Advocate at Draftbit, and Senior Content Developer at Vercel.

When I am not writing code or working on a blog post, I'm probably spending my time either reading a book or traveling.

Open Source & Me

Back in 2018 I made my first open-source contribution by writing a Twitter Bot (the original one) in Node.js for freeCodeCamp and #100DaysOfCode campaign which in recent years has gained a lot of attention (200k+ followers) among people who are getting into web development.

Over the years I've made some contributions to some projects and organizations such as Node.js, Gatsbyjs and freeCodeCamp both as a contributor and maintainer. In past, I've been awarded among Top 200 Open Source Contributors by freeCodeCamp.org in 2018.

I specifically write on JavaScript frameworks such as Node.js, Reactjs, and React Native (Expo).

⚙️ What I use

I almost never get asked about what's my setup is or what I use. Nonetheless, here is what I use on daily basis.

Coding Software

  • Visual Studio Code- My friend Scott Spences introduced me to VS Code. At that time, we were both using Atom. I have never looked back.
  • Brave- as my personal browser. I also use Chrome and sometimes Safari.
  • item2- My terminal of choice, with ZSH shell.
  • Homebrew- For installing other libs and softwares.
