Evan Purkhiser
I am a software engineer who is passionate about building high-quality systems, tools, and applications. I am continually striving for the feeling of having built something I’m proud of, something I know that I didn’t take shortcuts on, and something worth sharing. I also have a deep appreciation for modern design aesthetics and robust interaction design. The melding of form and function is my holy grail.

Building a Sentry: 7 years of open-source React
Workshop
Join Sentry’s Evan Purkhiser and David Wang as they walk through Sentry’s 230k LoC Typescript/React codebase. They’ll tell war stories of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Gaze in wonder at their modern usage of Typescript, react hooks, and styled components. Recoil in disgust at their legacy Reflux usage and perplexing Webpack configuration. Step away from the workshop with a working knowledge of techniques to keep a large-scale frontend codebase modern and maintainable.
