👋 Hey there — I’m Austin (a.k.a. MrZ)
Open‑source Go engineer • Bitcoin SV infrastructure builder • Telecom & data nerd
Why sponsor me?
Your support lets me spend focused time on the boring-but‑crucial “digital roads & bridges” that all builders rely on:
💡 Area | 🚀 What it means for the community |
---|---|
Go libraries & tooling | Stewardship of projects like go‑countries, go-mail, go-sanitize, go-validate, and a growing suite of developer utilities. Expect clean APIs, rock‑solid tests, and up‑to‑date docs. |
Bitcoin SV infrastructure | SDKs, APIs, and reference services that make it easy to ship apps on the BSV blockchain. Think of it as paving the highway so dreamers can drive. |
What your sponsorship unlocks
⏱️ Time unlocked | 🌎 Direct impact |
---|---|
“Maintenance Mondays” dedicated to OSS | Quicker PR reviews, faster releases, long‑term sustainability |
CI, benchmarking & test infrastructure | Performance regressions caught early; bulletproof releases |
Conference & meetup appearances | Wider adoption of Go + BSV best practices; fresh contributors |
