Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBlaine Bublitz is an Open Source consultant and polyglot software engineer with 14 years of experience building developer tooling, languages, and communities from the ground up. He led the Gulp.js project through its v4 release and scaled its maintainer team, while also guiding companies like Credit Karma and Stripe to upstream contributions and healthier supply chains. Comfortable across Rust, OCaml/ReasonML, JavaScript, and WebAssembly, Blaine has shipped compiler and language tooling for Grain and contributed to high-profile projects such as lodash, Storybook, and snarkjs. His work spans developer experience, CI/release automation, and ZK tooling—recently stabilizing Noir tooling and improving SnarkJS browser builds and supply-chain practices. He pairs hands-on engineering (implementing features and tests across front-end and back-end repos) with community-building—helping maintainers monetize work at Tidelift and making Dark Forest inviting for third-party contributors. Based in Phoenix, he brings a rare blend of compiler/compiler-infrastructure chops and practical OSS stewardship that helps projects move from hobby to production.
