Hi there! Thanks for visiting this page and even considering helping to fund my work. :^)

I've always appreciated open source software and wanted to get involved. Then in 2021, I discovered the SerenityOS project. Since then, I've become increasingly involved in it, to the point that I'm now a maintainer. (I promise to use this power only for good...)

I'm unemployed, with some mental health struggles that make finding work feel impossible, so open source development has basically become my full-time job, as well as my only source of income.

Mostly I work on SerenityOS, which is a complete from-scratch operating system, web browser, and programming language, along with whatever else has been consumed by the scope creep by the time you read this. ;^) I jump around a bit but most of the time I stick to userland software, particularly the browser engine.

I really appreciate anything that you are able to donate. It would be fantastic to be able to earn a living this way instead of relying on family support.

Thank you!
