Hello! 👋

I'm a full-time open source developer.

My open source projects...

• make the Web safer and more private.
  • Caddy is the only web server to use HTTPS automatically and by default
  • CertMagic is a Go library that provisions and manages TLS certificates for servers
  • ACMEz is a fully-compliant RFC 8555 (ACME) implementation in pure Go
• make developer lives easier.
  • PapaParse is a JavaScript library that parses CSV files
  • JSON-to-Go converts JSON to Go structs
  • curl-to-go converts curl commands to Go code
  • Archiver is a Go library for working with archive formats
  • libdns is a set of universal DNS record manipulation APIs
• preserve personal and family history.
  • Timelinize stores all your digital life onto a single timeline, stored locally
• are often used in humanitarian and non-profit efforts.
  • PEPFAR uses Caddy to collect medical data in the field
  • The United Nations, Wikimedia, and several other public agencies use Papa Parse to process data

My primary work is the Caddy web server. Caddy has:

• 📄 >20 million TLS certificates under management
• ⏬ >50 million downloads
• 🐳 >500 million Docker pulls
• 🔐 >1 trillion TLS connections secured
• 📈 >10 TRILLION ‼️ HTTPS requests served

That's a lot of public good for a free project maintained by ~1 developer! Thankfully, Caddy has over 300 contributors. But coordinating that effort takes a lot of time and energy, so I now accept sponsorships to help fund ongoing maintenance of my projects.

Your sponsorships make a difference because although open source work can be satisfying, it is often a drain on mental, emotional, and physical energy. In addition to making full-time development possible, sponsors provide much-needed relief, leading to happier, healthier, less-stressed developers.

My goals for my projects are:

1. Make a lasting, positive impact
2. Foster a sense of community and goodwill
3. Improve your quality of life

Some sponsor tiers get discounted professional services, which include:

• Development
• Consulting
• Training
• Presenting

Thank you for your support. Let's do this!
