👋 Hey there, I'm Feross! ✨
I'm an open source author, maintainer, and mad scientist. I maintain 100+ open source packages which are downloaded 100+ million times per month.
I work on innovative projects like WebTorrent, a streaming torrent client for the web, WebTorrent Desktop, a slick torrent app for Mac/Windows/Linux, and StandardJS, a JavaScript style guide, linter, and automatic code fixer. I also work on fun projects like BitMidi, a free MIDI database, and Play, a music video app.
I wrote and maintain several popular browserify/webpack ecosystem packages like buffer (82M downloads/month) and safe-buffer (161M downloads/month). Some of my favorite npm packages that I've written are simple-peer (91K downloads/month), render-media (12K downloads/month), and simple-get (10M downloads/month).
In the past, I was on the Node.js Board of Directors, representing individual Node.js users like you! I was happy to play some small part in making things better for everyone. Just for fun, a couple years ago I helped organize ArcticJS, an impromptu JavaScript conference in Svalbard, the northern-most human settlement on Earth, with some amazing friends.
My goal with GitHub Sponsors is to spend more time maintaining the 100s of projects that I've written over the years and continue developing new projects. I feel that open source funding should primarily come from companies and not individuals (though if you're an individual who supports me, you're awesome and I'm very grateful).
