Thank you for considering supporting my open source work!
I've been involved in volunteer and open source work for many years, most prominently Go, and formerly including F-Droid and Tor.
In the Go project I help maintain packages like encoding/json
and text/template
. I also like to spend time on performance optimizations and tooling, as well as helping with reviews and tidying up the issue tracker.
I also write and maintain a number of open source projects, including shfmt, gofumpt, garble, unparam, dockexec, bitw, and Github Actions for Go.
I'm involved with the Go community as well; I run GoSheffield in the UK, I help run the monthly golang-tools calls, I have given technical talks at many Go conferences, and I have run a handful of Contributor Workshops to help others get involved in Go.
It is my hope that, with your support, I can transition to spending more time every day on the above in a sustainable way :)
For corporate sponsorships and custom support, you can reach me via email.
