Hi! My name is John Hamlin! 👋🏻

I build tools that make people's lives easier, most recently at xkite, where we created an open-source toolkit for Apache Kafka devs. xkite lets you spin up containerized Kafka clusters in minutes, run custom tests, and export your setup for deployment.

As a former journalist, I enjoy writing documentation that distills complex topics into plain English. As a senior comms consultant at North Carolina's largest county, I led cross-functional teams of engineers to craft customer-focused outreach and marketing campaigns.

When I’m not writing code, I’m a bar trivia champion, hot sauce masochist and kombucha home brewer. I'll talk your ear off about reverse searing steaks, the best way to make a martini (obviously gin, almost no vermouth) and the uselessness of the Oxford comma.

Here's a look at what all I've been working on:

  • 🪁 xkite
    • Open source GUI for Apache Kafka prototyping, testing and deployment. Spins up containerized Kafka clusters, runs custom tests, and exports configs for deployment
  • 💼 johnhaml.in
    • Your classic, over-engineered personal portfolio site, built from scratch with my favorite tools and a few I wanted to try out.
  • 📼 ScrewTapp
    • React Native App to Play DJ Screw Mixtapes on Archive.Org on iOS and Android
