I'm a Ruby developer from Croatia, now living in Czechia. I've been an active open source contributor since 2012. I started my journey by taking over maintenance of sinatra-activerecord, and afterwards MiniMagick.
Soon I became interested in improving file uploads in Ruby, and became a core contributor of Refile. I then proceeded to create my own file attachment solution called Shrine 📎 , and worked on growing its ecosystem and community for the next several years. I extracted the Down gem for handling file downloads, which gained popularity independently of Shrine. For image processing I wanted to use libvips, so I created the ImageProcessing gem to reduce the barrier for Rubyists, which is now used in Active Storage and CarrierWave. I also created a Ruby server for tus resumable upload protocol, and a Ruby backend for resumable S3 uploads with Uppy.
My current project is rodauth-rails, a Rails integration for Rodauth 🔒 authentication framework. Rodauth provides significant advantages over Rails-based solutions such as Devise, and can be used with any Ruby web framework. It uses Sequel for database interaction, but I made it possible for Sequel to reuse Active Record's database connection. I'm also writing articles 📚 and recording screencasts 🎥 to showcase Rodauth, and would like to start consulting soon.
I believe it should be easy for Ruby developers to implement modern authentication features in their apps, regardless of whether they're full-stack or API + SPA, and Rodauth's flexible architecture makes this possible. Your sponsorship will support me in improving the Rodauth ecosystem, recording new screencasts and improving documentation.
