My main contributions are geared towards the MagicMirror² ecosystem, which is a modular smart mirror platform based on augmented reality. It was my entry point into the OpenSource world 5 years ago during my studies in applied computer science.

Back then I had a lot of free time that I spent in the official forum to help other users build their mirrors and custom modules. Up to today, I haven't build a single mirror myself, shame on me! However, I have built 19+ modules on user requests, because back then there were not the same amount of modules that are available today:

Offline voice recognition (sorry google, amazon, etc.) to control your mirror
Alarm clock
Several sports modules (soccer, american football, ice hockey, ...)
Cheapest fuel prices in your area
Shipment tracking
And many more

I also contributed bug fixes and improvements to the core system and modules from other users.
In my active time in the forum, I helped hundreds of users debugging their issues and found obvious repetitive patterns because most users had 0 programming knowledge. On the basis of this, I dedicated my bachelor thesis to those issues, where I applied scientific methods to investigate and wrote a mobile application proof of concept to mitigate them. Sadly it stayed a PoC.
Since I started working as a Fullstack Developer I obviously didn't have the same amount of time as before anymore. With your sponsorship, you could help me free up more of my time that I can then in return dedicate to my OpenSource projects.
