roblarsen/README.md

Hello, I'm Rob Larsen ๐Ÿ‘‹

Welcome to my corner of the GitHub universe. I am an enterprise technology executive, a long-time open-source contributor, and a published technical author. My work focuses entirely on building and governing software systems with industrial-strength engineering discipline.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Open Source Stewardship & Core Projects

  • HTML5 Boilerplate (@h5bp): I am the owner of the organization and primary maintainer of html5-boilerplate, create-html5-boilerplate, and main.css.
  • Front-end Developer Interview Questions: Maintainer of one of the industry's most widely utilized open repositories for evaluating engineering talent.
  • Alternative Asset Infrastructure: Currently building and maintaining specialized, type-safe data pipelines and schema architectures designed to standardize provenance, grading metrics, and market liquidity velocity for high-value collectibles.

๐Ÿ“š Technical Publications

I have spent decades codifying web standards and teaching engineering best practices. I am the author of five books for O'Reilly, Wiley, and Packt, covering core web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG) and macro architecture trends (The Uncertain Web, O'Reilly).

๐Ÿ’ผ Professional & Advisory Operations

Professionally, I operate Palatino Consulting, serving as a fractional operator, technology strategist, and board advisor to fintech platforms, venture-backed tech startups, and digital alternative asset marketplaces.


๐Ÿ“ฌ Let's Connect & Collaborate

  • Enterprise Strategy & Board Roles: Reach out via my advisory practice at rob.larsen@palatinoconsulting.com if your organization is navigating high-throughput systems architecture or data audits.
  • Open Source Collaboration: Have an idea or a project that belongs under the @h5bp umbrella? Open an issue or pitch it.
  • The Specialty Sandbox (Data Vis & SVG): While my primary focus is strategic, I still love the craftsmanship of pure code. If you are a platform facing a unique, highly specialized data visualization bottleneck or an advanced SVG rendering problem and need an expert to build a production-ready solution, let's talk.
  • Sponsorship: If you value my open-source stewardship and want to support ongoing infrastructure maintenance, you can sponsor me here ๐Ÿ™.
