This is Nico from Berlin, author and maintainer of many well-known Python packages. If you work in numerical analysis, you probably know who I am.
Some of my most popular packages:

📐 math: quadpy. orthopy, accupy, pacopy, pyfvm, cplot
🕸 meshing: meshio, pygmsh, pygalmesh, optimesh, meshzoo, dmsh, meshplex
🚀 performance: perfplot, tuna
🎨 plotting: tikzplotlib, dufte, termplotlib, colorio

Coming from mathematics (PDEs are my friends), I started out with Fortran 👴🏻, MATLAB, and C++, then got hooked on Python many years ago. This helps me keep my software simple and easy to use. I'm especially proud that many of my users are nontechie.
I'm good at

➕ Mathematics: ODEs, PDEs, finite elements, finite volumes, meshing, visualization
💻 Programming: everything Python (especially scientific), C++
⚙️ Software engineering: code base organization, testing, CI/CD, processes

I'm broadly interested and not afraid to dive deep if something really catches my interest. Sponsoring can help me find out what projects my users really care about and put more effort into those.
Things I don't need that I'd get from sponsorship money:

♟️chess.com premium subscription
🏓 Table tennis equipment
⌨️ a mechanical keyboard
🧉 Mate (the Berlin techie drink)
