Eli Perkins

I'm an iOS engineer in Denver, by way of NYC and Boston. I'm currently working at GitHub as a staff software engineer, working with GitHub Mobile, GitHub Desktop and GitHub CLI.

Sometimes I write about things on my blog. I'm a big fan of open source, whether it be in Swift, Ruby, Go or whatever fun language or tool is out there.

I'm a fan of craft beer 🍻 , coffee ☕️, and esports 👾.
