Nov 4, 2026, 10:40 AMI'm looking for contract work! Boosts appreciated ✨️
It's been a blessing to lead the Open Source Pledge, which has raised $9.2m for OSS maintainers; and to manage Sentry's distribution of $1m to OSS devs & foundations.
I now want to continue my work making Open Source ecosystems more sustainable.

I focus on applied research that contributes to the public good, and I care about developer well-being.
