GitHub Sponsors Profile

Some Info about me

Active developer of Valgrind
Grew up and studied in the UK
Based in France

Valgrind has it's own source code repo and doesn't have an official GH mirror. I used github for the development of the two FreeBSD ports (x86/amd64 and arm64). I have also used GH as the source for the "valgrind-devel" FreeBSD port. I use GitHub issues for tracking internal problems that are less visible than the Valgrind bugzilla.
I will use any funds to cover hardware expenses (my main development machine is an old Intel Xeon W3520, and I also have an even older Opteron machine and a Raspberry Pi 5). I'd like to get some newer hardware because there are some CPU op-code related issues in Valgrind that I can't work on easily.
On macOS I don't have access to M1/M2 hardware and my MacBook pro is too old to upgrade to macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
