Kris Kowal guided the CommonJS module system from design to adoption, most notably by Node.js, and created the popular Q JavaScript promise library out of which emerged modern JavaScript promises. Kris built RPC infrastructure at Uber for five years. On nights and weekends, Kris is a Middle-earth cartographer, Elvish calligrapher, OpenMoji contributor, interactive fiction creator, cellular automaton curator, and a hiking camper.
