Become a sponsor to Seth Michael Larson

I'm a software engineer who contributes to Open Source in my free time and as a part of my role at Elastic.

Why sponsor me?

I maintain and contribute to many open source projects, especially in the HTTP and networking space for Python. Most notably I'm the lead maintainer of urllib3, an HTTP client library that is the most downloaded package on the Python Package Index with over 4 billion downloads.

Other projects I contribute to include Requests, distro, idna, brotlicffi, hstspreload, sniffio, and unasync. I also write and tweet frequently about open source, Python, web, security, and other technologies.
