Hi there! My name is Jairo Melo, I'm a phd in History really involved in the Digital Humanities trend 😃 I'm from Colombia, and currently living in Mexico.

I'm working in developing general solutions for archives, libraries and humanities research. Specially those related with gather, transform, and retrieve textual and visual data from books, journals or archive collections.

I'm trying to develop applications that could be useful, open, collaborative, scalable, and sustainable.

With this sponsorship I will be able to dedicate more time developing open source applications (and less "open source scripts" 🙃 ), and could build a team of volunteers from Latin America to create better and more sustainable solutions.
