While my programs may not make your job easier, I can promise they will make your life more creative and more convenient. I'm a scientist by training, but my work on Github is reflective of my true passions and hobbies: hacking tangible solutions to real-life problems.

I have over 100+ repositories that I currently maintain. Many of these are file-sharing tools like croc (>20k stars) or Go-based libraries like progressbar (~3k stars) and peerdiscovery (~500 stars) or web-based tools like rwtxt (~1k stars) and cowyo (~1k stars) or other more creative pursuits like ingredient parsing, simplifying audio streaming, and a cli tool to find people around you, plus many more.

In addition to the above, music is my side jam, and I regularly do creative coding and of course, share everything I do in the music space, too. Check out my Instagram @infinitedigits. I also share in-depth tutorials on my website and spend a lot of time developing music projects in SuperCollider for the norns musical device. I have written and rewritten dozens of scripts, like oooooo, mx.samples, mx.synths, and o-o-o.

The brutal truth is that these tools require constant support, like assistance with PRs and Issues nearly every day, and it's honestly very time-consuming to address everyone's inquiries. In the end, everything I do becomes open-source and benefits all. If you believe in this approach and you like or use my work, please sponsor me.

"Boot up or shut up!" πŸ₯Ύ

If you're equally as glad as I am that tech these days has far surpassed the hackersploitation of the '95 movie Hackers, drop me $4 and it will help me with things like buying domains, circuit components, or lambda functions.Β

"He fights for the users" βš”οΈ

Is the main frame locking you out? Like Tron, I just want to keep the system free and keep the I/O flowing. Your sponsorship at this level will increase the bandwidth and ram on the VPSes to make sure the users are supported.

"There is no spoon." πŸ₯„

"It's the question that drives us. It's the question that brought you here." Sponsorship at this level will set me free to bring more programs out of The Matrix and into real world.
