I firmly believe in free open source development. It ensures that every hour spent on engineering can continue to benefit the common good into the far future. By reusing what is already there and helping each other to make it even better, we cooperate as a planet.
Currently, my open source work mainly revolves around the following projects:

Underscore, the missing functional standard library for JavaScript. I started contributing in 2020, modularized the library and eventually took over maintainership. Expected future work includes modularization of the underscore-contrib companion library, publication of a new companion library that merges the Lodash interface, and a modernized Underscore 2.0.
Backbone, the classic MVC framework for JavaScript, originally created by the same visionary author as Underscore (Jeremy Ashkenas). I took over maintainership in late 2021 and issued my first release, 1.4.1, in early 2022. Expected future work includes modularization and addressing several outstanding issues.
Wontache, my very own, brand-new, high-performance, spec-compliant implementation of the Mustache templating language for JavaScript. The current focus is on getting documentation and conveniences ready for production. I help maintain the specification as well.

I also answer questions on Gitter and Stack Overflow and occasionally contribute to other projects; see my GitHub, GitLab and Stack Overflow profile pages.
