I'm a medicinal chemist now working in the informatics side of the life sciences that touches bioinformatics, cheminformatics, machine learning, and the semantic web.

I have a passion for reproducible, reusable, useful science, and turn my research into tools that really are for others to use. Along the way, I've spun a lot of utilities and tools out into their own packages that are generally useful, even outside of my line of research.

Sponsorship is important to me for three reasons:

1. It's a nice way to show appreciation for things that I've built
2. It can help me justify continuing to spend my free time on maintaining open source software
3. It can give an avenue for industrial users of my software to pay for support and maintenance

Setting up my GitHub Sponsors profile is purely an experiment. I'll be happy if it results in some beer money (though I would spend it on 🍎 cider)!
