GitHub Sponsors Profile

My passion is helping development teams get to the highest levels of performance along the dimensions of productivity, quality, security, and product/market fit. I'm a firm believer that high levels of cred amongst developers require that you are actually doing software development so I have remained the primary author of a dozen or so open-source projects, one of which gets almost 1 million downloads per month.
I will use the funds from sponsorship to keep my most popular projects up to date ensuring that their dependencies are the latest and planning for myself of other contributors to address deprecated functionality in dependencies. I will also use the funds to address issues reported and add functionality.
