I've been an active contributor to the Python ecosystem since 2005. Originally I was a major contributor to the Django web framework. These days, you're more likely to see me working on the BeeWare Project. BeeWare is a collection of tools and libraries to enable you to write 100% native GUI client applications in Python, on any platform - for desktop (macOS, Windows and Linux), but also for mobile (iOS and Android) and as single page web apps.

I'm a regular fixture on the PyCon and DjangoCon speaker circuit, where I speak about Python, and the sustainability of the FLOSS ecosystem - in terms of both financial and human costs.

Your sponsorship helps me continue to contribute. It helps offset the costs of getting to conferences, and pay for hosting and other promotional expenses associated with my projects. If I can raise enough regular sponsorship funds, I might even be able to switch to maintaining FLOSS as my full-time employment.
