Hi, I'm Michael 👋🏻

I'm a Software Engineer with over 7 years of commercial experience in full stack software development. I've always been a strong proponent of Open Source and over the years have released various (sometimes questionably built) libraries for general use. More recently I've been working on helping to raise awareness of new and interesting features and standards of the web over on my blog, as well as building open source libraries to help use them.

My Primary focus in Open Source Right Now is webmention-handler, a JS/TS library for self hosting your own web-mention server.

My latest blog post can be found below (auto-updating)

Sponsorship

I do have a day job so if you have money spare, I'd rather you donate to any one of the full time open source devs if possible. Please don't feel any pressure to sponsor me. That being said, if you've used something I've made and it's helped you, I'd be grateful if I was given an occasional free coffee. In response, I promise that I'll:

  1. Continue to maintain my open source libraries
  2. Continue to write about new and/or interesting web standards and practices
  3. Continue to focus on the community that I've come to love so much
