Hello!

If you find my open-source work useful, please consider supporting me.

All of my projects are a labor of love, an unpaid volunteer work done in my spare time.

I don't receive donations often and appreciate every donation I receive, no matter how small.

Just to give a perspective, during the 3 year period from 2021 to 2024, I received a total of 3 donations, totaling $18 USD. This might come as a surprise, as some of my projects have over 300,000 downloads, but the reality is that barely anyone donates. However, when someone does donate, it always brightens my day :)

Other methods

GitHub Sponsors is the best way to support my work, but if you prefer other methods:

About me

I have been an active open source developer since 2012, contributing to various open-source projects as well as working on personal ones.

Tox

I'm probably the most known for my work on Tox -- peer-to-peer distributed secure instant messaging and audio/video communication protocol/library/application. I was one of the initial contributors and have stuck with the project ever since.

In the past I have made sure libtoxcore is compiling and working properly on Windows, created and maintained the first Tox GUI client to test libtoxcore, worked on the DHT bootstrap daemon, helped with Google Summer of Code (GSoC) organization and application submission in 2014-2016, was GSoC mentor in 2014-2015, wrote some articles/documentation/blog posts, setup Windows cross-compilation for many Tox projects on Jenkins, took over maintaining Jenkins build farm, improved Jenkins DigitalOcean plugin for use at Tox, wrote ci-release-publisher script to allow Tox projects wishing to migrate off Jenkins to GitHub+Travis-CI setup for their nightly builds to be able to do so, and so on.

Currently I maintain Tox web servers: the main website, wiki, blog, mailing list, Jenkins, etc., the DHT bootstrap daemon, the bootstrap node list, qTox's Windows cross-compilation scripts and related CI and qTox's nightly builds setup. I also occasionally write Tox blog posts.

Personal projects

Aside from Tox I also work on various other projects: vlc-pause-click-plugin -- a VLC plugin for pausing a video by mouse clicking on it, ci-release-publisher -- a script for creating nightly builds on GitHub + Travis-CI, rootkit -- a Linux kernel rootkit for Ubuntu 16.04 and 10.04, paper-store -- storing small binary data like PGP keys on paper -- and other useful projects.

Sponsoring me will help me continue working on open source software. Please consider sponsoring me if you like what I do or if you want to thank me for what I have done.

Thanks!

This pays for my utilities. Coding on a sheet of paper under a candle is no fun, but that's what I'd have to do without electricity. Thanks for keeping the lights on!
