In 2009, I invented npm and spent 12 years working on it, including founding npm, Inc. (acquired by GitHub in 2020), and designing and implementing Arborist, the library that powers npm 7 and higher.

If you use JavaScript in any capacity, there is a very good chance you depend on code I wrote.

I left GitHub in November 2021 to found another startup, and no longer work on npm full time. Currently, I am working on vlt.sh, the next generation of JavaScript package management.

Apart from that, I maintain node-tap and a whole host of Node.js utility libraries that are used by millions of JavaScripters around the world. Sponsorship helps me justify my non-work OSS time, since that takes me away from other activities, and sponsoring libraries of mine will help me judge where my OSS maintenance time is best spent.

At this tier, I'll block off 2 hours at a time that works for us both to discuss your needs and provide some value if possible. Any preparation documentation or materials you can provide will be helpful, up to 2 hours time spent reviewing in advance. Additional work may be billed as appropriate if we move forward from there.

I am not available to help with anything that conflicts with my current obligations to my employer, but I will highlight any conflicts as early as possible.
