I'm James, but most people call me Jives. I'm a software engineer from London, now based in the United States. 👋🏻

Jives holding a sword

For the last few years I've been maintaining a series of open source projects focused on developer quality of life. I've built GitHub Actions that deploy your project to GitHub Pages, fetch authenticated API data, and even one that adds your GitHub Sponsors to your project's README. They're used all over GitHub: at the time of writing, the deploy action alone is in over half a million public repositories! ✨

I also write articles that help new and experienced developers learn more about software development, design systems, and whatever I'm currently spending my time on. Some of my most popular ones:

Sponsors can also opt in to an occasional email from me when I publish something new, with a round-up of what's shipped in the projects they support. 📬

By sponsoring my work you're supporting my ongoing contributions to the open source community. Thank you! ❤️
