GitHub Sponsors Profile
Hi, I'm Aikar. You may know me from Minecraft (Paper & Spigot), or Final Fantasy 11 (Windower). I have a focus on performance optimizations for Minecraft, as well as creating open source frameworks to solve common problems.
I'm from Raleigh, NC, so that's where i get that accent...
I enjoy helping others learn and build new cool things.
I enjoy creating tools that help others do cool things.
While I will continue what I do regardless of how much money I make, support is always appreciated to fuel my 5 hour energy infusion process so I can become one with the caffeine molecule.
