Shawn Wang, better known as swyx, is passionate about developer tooling and developer communities. He built his career as a software engineer at companies including Netlify and Temporal before serving as a Senior Developer Advocate for AWS Amplify, where he helped developers understand and adopt cloud tooling. That combination of hands-on engineering and teaching has made him a trusted voice on how developers learn, grow, and communicate.

swyx is the author of The Coding Career Handbook, a practical guide to navigating the path from junior to senior developer, covering everything from strategy and marketing for engineers to building a public body of work. He is one of the leading advocates of the learn in public approach: sharing what you learn as you learn it, so that your work compounds into opportunities, community, and a durable personal brand.

A committed educator, swyx teaches React, TypeScript, Storybook, and Node.js CLIs on Egghead.io and helps run the Svelte Society community of meetups. Through his writing and talks, he continues to help developers build careers deliberately, market themselves authentically, and contribute to the communities that shape the modern web.
