What I Work On

Working on open source brings me a lot of joy, specially when the stuff I do helps or is useful to others as well. I'm a huge believer on the serverless paradigm ever since it emerged, and a lot of my work and focus revolves around it now.

I maintain a few projects in this space like LambdaFS (for efficient compression and decompression of resources) and chrome-aws-lambda (which makes it possible to run Chromium on AWS Lambda and Firebase / GCF - even faster too).

Besides serverless, I enjoy developing simple yet useful tools and projects, like:

  • ArrestDB a RESTful API proxy for databases in PHP
  • pagerank a weighted PageRank implementation in Go
  • genex a regex expansion engine in Go that powers name|grep

I also have some nearly-finished projects that I intend to release soon, to name a few:

  • a Go CLI utility to deeply traverse folders, files and hash their contents
  • a strongly typed TypeScript ORM for Firestore and security rules transpiler
  • a more complete version of ArrestDB but for Node.js, with support for OData v4

How Your Sponsorship Helps

I have a demanding full-time job that takes a lot of my time, and it can be difficult to keep the motivation to work on new projects (knowing that each new one will require additional commitment of my time) while maintaining and supporting existing ones.

Knowing that a stranger values my efforts gives me an extra motivational boost. 💪

The higher tiers (Bronze, Silver and Gold) also allow me to allocate some time each month to better support you (or your business), through screensharing or private chat.

Regardless of the amount, all sponsors get my gratitude - thank you! 🤗
