👋 Hello!

My name is Adam and I'm a developer with experience in web and application development. I'm relatively new to the open-source space, but I'm passionate about creating tools for users that are powerful but intuitive to use. I seek to write software that feels like extensions of how we think. I believe the best software shouldn't need a user manual.

My formal education is as a computer scientist and hardware engineer, but I also have a background in user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design. You can read more about me on my website!

✍️ I'm currently working...

I'm currently working with the @meshtastic project to enable users to manage large-scale mesh networks. Given that mesh networks are dynamic by nature, I believe that visibility into the state of the mesh is required to give users confidence in the reliability of the network.

To allow this visibility, I'm developing a desktop application that will allow users to create, configure, and monitor Meshtastic networks. The client does this by leveraging a novel mesh packet to collect information on the health of the network. The application can then algorithmically analyze the network to ensure the network is healthy.

❤️ How can you help?

Supporting me on GitHub directly supports my ongoing efforts to create free, high-quality software. The open-source community democratizes modern technology and makes it universally approachable. Your financial support allows me to continue to contribute to this amazing community.

More specifically, your support allows me to ensure that the network management client can support as wide a variety of hardware as possible. Your support also helps me cover the costs of additional client infrastructure, such as a public update server.

As a show of gratitude I would say you can have early access to my software, but fortunately for you everything I write is already free :)
