Become a sponsor to Valeri Karpov
Hi, my name is Val, I've been building Node.js open source modules and writing about JavaScript since 2012. You might know me as the maintainer of Mongoose, or through my blogging on The Code Barbarian and Mastering JS.
I'm a Principal Engineer at Booster Fuels, and I previously worked at MongoDB, Tower Research Capital, and LevelUp. I hold an undergrad degree in Computer Science from Princeton University - my undergrad research work was about min-cut algorithms and heaps in computer vision applications under Robert Tarjan.
What I'm Working On
- Mongoose, the most downloaded database framework on npm. About 1M monthly downloads and 21k stars on GitHub.
- Mastering JS, a JavaScript microtutorials site that gets over 100k page views per month.
- Small utilities for Node.js and MongoDB, like connect-mongodb-session and mongoose-autopopulate.
- eBooks explaining full-stack JavaScript from base principles: Mastering Mongoose, Mastering Async/Await, and more.
What's Next
- Mongoose 6 and better TypeScript support for Mongoose
- Open source some real production apps
- API integration tutorials on The Code Barbarian
- Content and modules related to aspect-oriented programming in JavaScript
How Sponsorship Helps
Your sponsorship helps me devote more time to doing what I love - writing tutorials and building delightful open source solutions.
