GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hello, I'm Matt (@mdlayher)! I am a veteran programmer and a regular contributor to a wide variety of open source networking applications and libraries written in Go.
Open source software is my true passion, and I have authored and published a number of projects on GitHub which have seen wide adoption, such as my netlink, raw, and vsock packages. In addition, I am regularly involved with the following open source projects:

the Go programming language

commit access, focused on net, x/net, and x/sys/unix

the WireGuard VPN tunnel project

maintainer of wgctrl-go

I am driven by curiosity and take great pride in my open source work. I would be extremely grateful if you chose to sponsor my work, and it will only further motivate me to create the best possible open source software. Thank you for your time!
