Hey there! I write open source code in my own time. Generally small things, to help me solve problems in my own life - and maybe they solve some of your problems too! Here are some of those things:

activesoup, a tool for web scraping in python that I wrote to help me automate some tedious chores around reporting financial transactions to my employer, but that a bunch of people seem to be using to help them with their web scraping needs,
ferret, a custom shebang for your python scripts that lets you manage dependencies with a minimum of fuss,
keyn, a browser extension I wrote to alleviate RSI by allowing me to follow links without reaching for my mouse,
fixl, another browser extension that makes it easy for me to look up details of the FIX spec, a widely used protocol in financial services (where I was working at the time).

I also try to help out where I can to improve the tools that others made and I use, like

rustup, where I added support for download resumption and improved build times (ever tried to update while on a train with patchy internet? I did!).
firejail, where I added sandboxing for a couple of tools I use (like pass)

I'm asking people to sponsor me if they find my work useful - to help make open source development a little more rewarding. This isn't going to replace my main income - it's just a nice way to say "thanks" and let me know you appreciate the effort; like buying me a beer, but without breaking COVID-19 restrictions.
