Hello! Thank you for offering to sponsor me. I've been involved in open source, in one way or another, for over 20 years. I consider it a political act, as a means of literally changing the world, and simply as a beautiful way to contribute something free which others can use.

I'm a polyglot, but most of my work comes in the form of Ruby gems, Node.js modules, and C libraries. My work is being used by GitHub (I was employee 141!), Google, Heroku, Microsoft, Travis CI, and many others.

I tend to work on documentation tooling, rendering markup, and many other small scripts to generally make peoples' lives easier. If you or your company has benefited from my work, please consider sponsoring me! Any amount helps. If there's something particular you'd like in exchange for a certain tier, please let me know and I'll probably accommodate it!

Some of my popular projects
