Evan Denerley

ABOUT

I build cross-platform software that feels native everywhere it runs.

Currently shipping reader experiences at The New York Times, with a long-running interest in Kotlin Multiplatform, design systems, and how pixels actually arrive on screen.

Before NYT: a few startups, a lot of Android, the occasional foray into the GPU.

NOW

• BUILDING denerley.me — Compose Multiplatform on Wasm, server-client KMP, Cloudflare Workers + D1. The site you're on is the project.
• LEARNING SkSL fragment shaders for Compose backgrounds; the practical limits of tree-shaking in Kotlin/Wasm.
• WRITING Build-log posts about the deploy quirks I hit shipping this site — see Selected work below.

SELECTED WORK

  How js("this.length") broke my Cloudflare Worker

  A one-line Kotlin/JS interop escape hatch silently rebound `this`, returned NaN bytes to a Worker, and 500'd every protobuf response. Fix was a typed Kotlin parameter.

  One canvas, four modules

  How denerley.me ships a Compose-on-Wasm site without a DOM, what each Gradle module does, and why crawlers still get HTML.
