Philip Howard

Gadgetoid
Cambridge, United Kingdom

By day I'm lucky enough to be paid to work upon open source code- creating MIT-licensed libraries for dozens of sensors as part of my role at Pimoroni. These are mostly written in Python and aimed at the Raspberry Pi platform.

In my spare time I created and maintain pinout.xyz, a one-stop source for Raspberry Pi pinout documentation both for the Pi itself and many add-on boards.

Somewhere in a precarious balance between work and spare time I contribute to the maintenance of open-source libraries including rpi_ws18x, py-spidev, luma and others.

Sponsorship helps me to dedicate more of my time to open-source hobby projects and software that doesn't directly relate to what I do at Pimoroni. It also helps me afford the hardware and furniture I need to build a home lab in which I can hide and churn out awesome things.

@Gadgetoid

Help fund the time and services to continue maintaining and improving Pinout.xyz.

The nice one. Too. None of that eMMC rubbish.

Seriously, videogames and piano keep my brain from just melting out of my ears from all the programming.
