Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Hey! 🥤
My name's Jeffry Wainwright. I go by Jeff. I'm passionate about coding, art, surfing, running, and fitness in general.
I love trying to make complex things simple. I enjoy mentoring and the constant challenge it provides me.
Open Source
I've written a fair amount of open source and hope to do more. Lately, I've been working hard at @cuypay making our frontend apps easier to ship so my open source work is minimal.
I do watch issues, and review pull requests within the day. I will submit important updates quickly as needed. I will/do approach bigger issues within a few months (right now).
Talks, mentorship
I love to talk about code and mentor engineers I work closely with. I've done one talk at JS.LA. Keeping things simple on all levels is important to me.
About @yowainwright
My Github handle, ** "yowainwright"**, comes from talks with my dad in his woodshop. I'd sit on a workbench and tell him about my dreams, which were always lofty. He would respond at key moments by pumping his fist and saying in a deep tone, "yoooo Wainwright! ". Not being a typical quick-learner, remembering his encouragement motivates in pursuit of achieving my goals
