Creator and lead of the ZMK firmware

Hello, I'm Pete!
I've been a software engineer for 20+ years. Most of my professional career has been in healthcare IT, but in college I got my start with open source by becoming a Gentoo Linux maintainer.
Fast forward, and two years ago I found a new scratch to itch; after getting into custom mechanical keyboards, I found the options for open source wireless keyboards lacking. Two years, and countless hours later, ZMK has become a popular firmware, with an energetic and positive community having grown around it.
With the growth of ZMK, there has been an massive expansion of custom wireless mechanical keyboards. The nice!nano has sold thousand of units, most of which run ZMK. The Corne-ish Zen has sold hundreds of high end wireless splits, all running ZMK. It's incredibly gratifying to have helped empowered these kinds of products to grow and exist.
My goal with GH sponsorship is to support me and my family financially while also allowing me to focus my time on ZMK in a more sustainable way than I've done in the past; burning the midnight oil and sacrificing sleep/health to find time to work on it.
For more details on my plans for ZMK, and thinking about how sponsorship and OSS work, check out my blog post: https://petejohanson.dev/blog/new-journey-2022/
Thank you to everyone who chooses to sponsor my work! ❤️
