Gryphon Myers is a Web Architect and full-stack JavaScript developer with a decade of experience building performant, tested, and isomorphic web applications from Santa Rosa, CA. He favors minimalist architectures and static-first approaches, asking how much code truly needs to run at runtime, and recently enjoys working with Node.js, AWS CDK, Vue 3, Vite, and SSG toolchains. Gryphon has shipped production work across enterprise (2K), startups (Livefyre), and games (co-founding Homunkulus), blending web dev, DevOps, and game design sensibilities. As an active open-source contributor he’s improved client-side routing, SSR caching, and SSG integrations in notable projects like Vike and ViteSSG, and has deep experience updating CMS import workflows in Cockpit. He now consults as a freelance Web Architect, partnering with teams in the GitHub ecosystem while keeping his own codebase deliberately curated and minimal. His background in interdisciplinary studies and game R&D surfaces in an engineer’s curiosity for elegant, pragmatic solutions.
