LedgerSMB
As the lead developer and main (code) contributor to the LedgerSMB project since 2015, I'm committed to continued maintenance and improvement of the LedgerSMB ERP application with a roadmap balancing technological advancement and development of new features and user experience. Modernization of the code base has been a theme since before I joined the project (in 2013) and that will remain a priority for the future. The on-going effort aims to achieve - among others - the following results:

Continues expansion of options for customization
A continuous flow of new or improved features through yearly releases and regular patch updates
Improved integration of new features into existing workflows
Development of features based on business use-cases

New features need to be integrated in all aspects of the application. In my drive to achieve that, I come up with and realize flexible application architecture in combination with business use-case (i.e. business process) driven requirements analysis. This approach applies both to features still to be implemented as well as some features which were implemented in the past -- with a less holistic approach.
Spin-off projects
I have the philosophy that "a good developer doesn't just develop the application, but builds the tools which let him/her do so efficiently" and I'm no exception to that rule myself.
To help me build the application, I've initiated:

Weasel project

Taken on (co-)maintainership of

Test::BDD::Cucumber
Gherkin and friends
PGObject::*
Authen::SASL
LaTeX::Driver and friends
Robot (JS state machines)

And contributed to:

Workflow
Test::Harness
Test2::Harness
Project::Pod
Perl
Robot (JavaScript)
Dojo Toolkit

Other projects
Next to the projects in support of LedgerSMB, I've contributed to or taken ownership of e.g. Rex, Promises, Test::Dependencies, perl-json-schemavalidator, Email::Sender, Class::Observable, Test::Harness, Sys::Virt, Authen::SASL::SCRAM.
