GitHub Sponsors Profile

I'm an independent researcher, open-source developer, artist, musician, author, prompt engineer, and recovering serial entrepreneur from Toronto, Canada, focusing on Quantum Computing, the Common Lisp language, and Generative Art, pushing the boundaries of Generative AI in everything I do. Living with PTSD and Narcolepsy isn't easy, but empowered by the new breed of Generative AI tools—including the GitHub Copilot Chat private beta, GPT-4, and Midjourney—I'm finding myself more creative and productive than ever before.
Alongside my various past start-ups in quantum computing, quantum machine learning, AI, and blockchain technology, I've been developing and maintaining open-source Common Lisp libraries with unencumbered licenses on GitHub since 2011, in the domains of Quantum Computing, numerical algorithms, and cryptography. And I've been gaining an interest in game modding, so check back soon for updates on that.
My open-source libraries are available as git repositories and direct downloads from my GitHub profile and common-lisp.net, and distributed through the Quicklisp, QLOT, and CLPM package managers, via the official Quicklisp distribution as well as the alternative Ultralisp distributions.
You can find my Generative Art collections at:
https://opensea.io/thephoeron
But out of all my projects and interests, I'm probably best known for Learn Lisp The Hard Way, which you can read online at:
https://llthw.common-lisp.dev/
Achieving my sponsorship goal will allow me to support myself and care for my medical and mental health needs, so I can focus full-time on open-source software, open-science, and educational material in Common Lisp and Quantum Computing, cover the costs of Generative AI tooling, and add support for commercial Common Lisp implementations across all supported platforms.
