Hello! I am a software engineer, comic book geek, and immersive theater performer located in San Francisco, CA, USA.

My goals for 2025 are:

  • Ship version 3.2 of the OpenAPI Specification, hopefully by June
  • Make significant progress on version 3.3, including revamping parameter and form descriptions
  • Design the cross-version (3.1+ and 4.0) lower boxes in the diagram I made of how OpenAPI tools work
    • The "Document Interface" is basically a read-write DOM for OpenAPI Descriptions
    • The "API Description API (ADA)" is a fully-resolved, read-only interface suitable for building applications that use OpenAPI Descriptions

All of this, of course, will be done as part of the OpenAPI community, just as my work on 3.1.0, 3.0.4, 3.1.1, and Moonwalk to date has been. I find joy in my work through collaboration and community engagement, which makes the results so much better as well!

If you have benefitted from my JSON Schema and OpenAPI specification work and/or would like to see more of it in the future, I would be very grateful for any sponsorship you are willing to contribute.

I'm hoping to reach 25 sponsors in 2025! The OpenAPI Initiative has ambitious goals with versions 3.2, 3.3, and 4.0 of the OpenAPI Specification on the horizon. We'll be able to reach those goals more quickly if I can devote more time to working with the OpenAPI Technical Steering Committee and Technical Developer Community on ideas for those releases, and on doing the actual spec-writing once the ideas are ready. I have a proven track record, having written most of the contributions to 3.0.4 and 3.1.1, both of which were publishd in 2024. Please help me devote more time to open standards and open source, and less to finding and doing contract work!
