Hi! Open source software and hardware are the core of my work. As a self taught software engineer, I believe that open source empowers us all to create things for ourselves and others. Open source is the lowest barrier to entry for beginners with no ceiling to what can be done.

All sponsorship dollars support my open source software and hardware work. Thanks to @adafruit, I'm the project lead for CircuitPython, an open source, beginner-friendly version of Python for very low cost computers (on open source hardware.) Additional GitHub sponsorships will help me diversify my contributions to our community.

Helping others contribute to open source is my top priority. I've created a $0 Tier to capture how I'm willing to support anyone with open source work. The paid tiers are here to provide ways to further support my work, and to get a bit (but not a lot) of my time prioritized to look at an issue of sponsor's priority.

$0 Tier

  • 30 minutes of private video chat once a month to discuss open source contributions. (Schedule here. Will occur over Discord.)
  • Unlimited open source pull request review on CircuitPython related repos. Only 1 per month on non-CircuitPython repos.
  • Unlimited advice and suggestions through the Adafruit Discord, just mention me there. (This does not include me writing code for you.)
  • Meet up for lunch or drinks if you are in Seattle!
