I'm a long-time committer of the Ruby language who wrote and has been maintaining some of the essential language features and libraries like Enumerator and Set. I'm also a core developer of some popular gems like Nokogiri, Mechanize and Feedjira, and on top of them, I've been co-authoring the web-based automation tool called Huginn. To wrap up, I've been committed to the development of the ecosystem around Ruby for making application development easier and much more fun.

I also have a long history as a FreeBSD committer to work on helping port a number of libraries and applications to *BSD platforms. You may know I'm the creator of Portupgrade.

As a long-time user of Emacs, I've written a number of elisp packages that are available on MELPA.

Once in a while, I contribute to some popular productivity tools and utilities like iTerm2, Hammerspoon, Karabiner-Elements and KeePassXC. I use them a lot, and whenever I find something I can improve, I write a patch.

I love automation and improving productivity. Get your hands free from tedious routine work. Make a computer do things for you using the power of programming. As a bonus, it is so much fun!

☕️🥛 You'll receive a Sponsor badge on your profile. I like coffee too but usually prefer a latte that is more soft and pleasant to the palate. An affordable cup of cafe latte and a snack available at a convenience store is my power source for the day, which your $3 can buy me. Thanks for powering me up!

$10 a month

🍵 You'll receive a Sponsor badge on your profile. My daily beverage is a kind of sencha, Japanese deep-steamed green tea. $10 for me approximately equals a month's worth of green tea leaf I consume. It greatly helps me work on building what you can't live without in a relaxed and focused mood. Thanks for boosting my productivity!

$20 a month

🍺 You'll receive a Sponsor badge on your profile. I am and I have always been a big fan of craft beers, and $20 allows me to explore a variety of new beers at a local liquor store every weekend. Working on OSS is mostly exciting but sometimes can be stressful, and a glass of IPA helps me get through a tough situation. Thanks for giving me a relaxing time!

⌨️🖲️ You'll receive a Sponsor badge on your profile and my big remote hug. As much as I love hacking software that deals with input events such as Karabiner-Elements and Hammerspoon, I do love input devices. I have been keen to use good keyboards and pointing devices to prevent tenosynovitis so I can keep writing good code as healthy and as long as possible. $99 a month will be a huge help for me to seek even better options to stabilize my productivity. Thanks for supporting my health!
