GitHub Sponsors Profile

Hi I'm Stuart Beard. I'm a Software Engineer based out of Reading, UK.
I work on a variety of Software projects, but like to find time to give back to the community where I can.
My open source focus is giving back in the area of Security and trying to provide fellow engineers with simplified tooling to help drive better password behaviours. The idea being that if code in this area can be reused and shared yet be flexible enough for most needs then the end result is better password security based on breaches, and behaviours rather than anything mathematical. 🔒
So why is sponsorship important? Firstly it helps encourage me that what I am pursuing in my free time is worth while, is beneficial to others, and/or is saving someone's bacon. Secondly I often make use of other free services or OSS. Sponsoring me helps give back to those people who engineered the tooling or services I use. Lastly, not everything is free in engineering. I pay for private GitHub, IDE, private SonarCloud, AWS infrastructure out of my own pocket - your sponsorship will also help aide those endeavours.
