👋 Introducing Pactflow’s new Developer Advocate - @Yousaf Nabi (pactflow.io) ! Our community — which incorporates the Pact contract testing community and our commercial product Pactflow — is the most important thing to us (here’s why) and so it was natural, as we grow, that we create a role focussed outward on that community to engage, lean into and nurture it. We were after someone with passion, somebody with humility but also a problem solver, and somebody who knew not just Pact the technology, but how to make it work in organisations and the complex environments in which it exists. This sounds like a 🦄 , but it’s all true and we are so lucky to have him join the team. You may have seen him around—here on Slack, through testing MeetUps, the Ministry of Testing, his past employer and current Pactflow consulting partner and InfinityWorks—he’s been an invaluable contributor to our community, as a maintainer of projects like

jest-pact

and

msw-pact

and through contributions to various parts of our ecosystem including the frameworks themselves and our documentation. As our our “community shepherd”, Yousaf is a voice for the customer — you — and will be focussed on reducing barriers to adoption, fostering a healthy contributor community and building more value in our community. For a great read on Yousaf joining the team and how we got here, I’d encourage you to read this delightful blog post, which should serve to inspire anybody on the possibilities that emerge if you keep your mind open. Please join us in welcoming Yousaf to the Pactflow team pactflow platypus slack

Hey, thanks for the warm welcome Matt. I am so excited to be here, and to be able to dedicate my full time to Pact and it's incredible community. If you have any questions, thoughts, wishes or just want to vent or chat, feel free to reach out, my door is always open.
