🌿 Welcome to my little island on the internet – I’m Jacky!

I spend a lot of time on the internet cultivating and building things I find interesting.

I love playing, tinkering, and building out in the open. I’ve built a number of open-source projects over the past few years focused around tooling and infrastructure. I’m curious about how we can better incentivize public goods funding, support better interactions with computers, and be more responsible stewards of technology.

Why sponsor?

I've been exploring what it would be like to be an independent researcher working on projects I personally find fulfilling. Recently, I've been tinkering around a lot with local-first collaborative apps and data interoperability.

I would really love to one day be able to fund my work completely through grants and/or sponsorship models (like this one!)

If you use some of my open source projects in some capacity, I would love if you could support what I do! The money will go towards paying for hosting the various projects I work on as well as basic needs like rent and groceries :)
