I'm the lead maintainer of InspIRCd and a co-maintainer of Anope. I am also a contributor to IRCv3, irctest, ircdocs, irc-framework, HexChat and many other IRC projects. My first open source project was published on SourceForge (remember that?) in March 2007.
If you are an InspIRCd, Anope, or other IRC user please consider supporting me via GitHub Sponsors, Ko-fi, or PayPal. IRC is struggling to compete against commercial platforms and a big part of the reason why is that commercial platforms receive more funding in an hour than IRC projects get in a decade. All contributions will be greatly appreciated. π
If you're looking for my personal projects I have decided to migrate them to Codeberg. Codeberg is similar to GitHub only it is run by a German non-profit and is fully open source. Whilst I still use GitHub for community projects because of the network effect I feel that Codeberg's ethos matches more with my own for my personal projects.
If you are an employer near Cambridge UK or are able to hire/contract UK citizens for remote work I'm currently available for hire. I primarily specialise in C++ but am also familiar with C, Ruby, Perl, Python, CMakeLang, GNU Make, and Unix Shell. I am also very familiar with several associated areas such as collaborative development, Linux system administration, software deployment, and version control. Please email me at work at sadiepowell dot dev with your job details and pay range and I can send you a more detailed CV.
