I've created a few hundred open source projects but you most likely know me from gulp.js, react-responsive, genome.js, or some of my other more popular projects. Overall my projects receive millions of weekly installs, but I have never asked for or expected any compensation - I love writing OSS, working with people in the community, sending PRs to help maintain other projects, and publishing my own works for others to benefit from.

In 2017 I started a company making better data tooling for city governments, so since then I have been primarily focused on publishing projects around that goal while still maintaining all of my existing projects. I'm currently focused on creating more libraries around streaming data ingestion, geospatial analytics, and front-end libraries that enable working with these processes for non-technical users.

There are some hard costs associated with some of my projects: node native libraries need large prebuilds to be hosted on S3 where I have to pay for bandwidth, and many projects go over free tier limits of CI services or other tooling. Contributing helps pay for those costs and enables me to spend more time working on resolving issues. If you want to chip in, your small contribution will go directly towards paying hard costs and opening up more time for me to work on these projects.
