Hi, I am @ashtom. 👋 I am the CEO of @GitHub and love building products that make developers' lives easier. I grew up in 🇩🇪, live in the Pacific Northwest of the 🇺🇸, and you may know me as the co-founder of HockeyApp. I’m also a LEGO enthusiast and love turning that GitHub contribution graph ⬇️ more green 🟩 in my spare time.
At GitHub, we’re always open to hearing your feedback so drop us a note (or your entire GitHub wishlist) in Discussions.
