My goal is to be able to spend more time creating open source tools for developers, mentoring, creating tutorials and overall being a contributor to a healthy developer environment for Javascript and PHP.

I’m very passionate about building tools to make developers’ lives easier, whether that’s ready-to-use UI components, libraries to provide concrete functionality to users in React and React Native apps, or CLI tools.

I’ll also use any funding to put more time in my existing React Native libraries, and PHP libraries that help developers use Apple’s platform functionalities like creating Wallet passes and using MapKit JS.

I hope to get to a point where I can spend at least one full day a week just on open source projects, next to leading the engineering team at my startup NearSt.

I look forward to building relationships with my sponsors, meeting you and helping each other out!
