I’ve been a software engineer for two decades, and I maintain open-source projects that I’ve built to solve real problems I’ve run into over the years. These libraries take a lot of quiet, unpaid work behind the scenes. Fixing edge cases, keeping everything up-to-date, answering questions, improving tests, and making sure things don’t break for the people who rely on them.

I don’t see open source as a business. It’s something I do because I care about clean engineering and giving something back to the community. If you choose to sponsor me, please know that I genuinely appreciate it. It helps justify the time I put into maintaining and improving these projects.

Outside of open source, I work as a Fractional CTO, helping startups and growing companies with architecture, engineering processes, and leveraging AI. If you ever need support, advice, or just want to talk through a technical challenge, feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help where I can.

Thanks again for even considering sponsorship. It means a lot.
