San Diego, CA

👋 I'm the lead maintainer of Ruffle, an open-source Flash Player emulator. I am passionate about preserving the rich history of multimedia content on the web.

Ruffle

If you'd like to sponsor the Ruffle project directly, please feel free to do so on the Ruffle organization page. You are of course welcome to sponsor me personally -- my efforts continue to be on Ruffle!

In the past, I created Swivel, an SWF-to-video converter to help animators get their content out of Flash and into their desired format. I co-organize the San Diego Rust Meetup group, and have contributed to the Haxe programming language.

By sponsoring me, you will allow me to spend more of my time working on Ruffle and ensuring that your favorite content remains easily accessible into the future.

Thank you!
— Mike W.
