Hiya fam👋

I'm Madi and I empower others to create innovative solutions to the problems that impact the world around them.

In addition to loving my local community, I create open source software and resources full time that enable developers from all over the world to learn, create, innovate, and collaborate with code in their native language - otherwise known as Legesher.

What's Legesher?

Did you know that regardless of what language you natively speak, you still code in English? Code is a foreign language already, but imagine having to learn English in order to learn code.

Legesher works to bridge the gap between the code you write and the words you natively speak. Imagine an entirely new reality for code where creativity, innovation, and collaboration aren't lost in translation - that's Legesher and that's what's been on my heart to create and share with the world for the past 6 years.

Here's a timeline:

6 years ago - Walked into my first coding class: Introduction to Programming, and walked out with a glimpse of a whole new world.
:
5 years ago - God gave me an idea to solve a problem. I told Him (kindly) "absolutely not, that's crazy" with a full list of reasons why that would never work.
:
1.5 years ago - The problem still existed. As a "leap of faith" of sorts, I left my corporate job to be obedient to pursuing that crazy idea (even though there were many unknowns still on that list^).
:
Today - Legesher is open-sourced and the community behind it has been growing since this past Hacktoberfest.

Thank you for your support ❤️

Open source has been something that has always been intimidating yet entirely fascinating. Your support as a sponsor, contributor, encourager, friend means the world to me. So thank you for just being here - for giving your time to learn more about the things my faith in Jesus has prompted me to do.

Thank you again!

God bless you,
Madi
