From helping to maintain FFXIV plugins to making my own, to creating new tools for mobas and arpgs and helping maintain those that already exist: I do a little bit of everything, especially for the games I play.

As you may guess, I'm a gamer, playing lots of arpgs, League of Legends at a middling level, previously FFXIV at a high level (still a little), and more, like The Finals and stuff like Baldur's Gate. Beyond that though, I also have a passion for programming in general, employing that passion as a career for the last 10 or so years depending on what you count, primarily in the Insurance Industry of late; along with that, I'm also seeking to continually learn deeper aspects of software development with higher education and non-stop bootcamp-style courses.

With every sponsorship, I can afford to spend more time doing exactly that, and continuously learn new things in classes to help me do so; hopefully one day changing the creation and maintaining of open-source tools for games, whatever else I can think of in the future, and learning more about software development through classes, into my full-time job.

Specifically with how I would spend the money:

  • My biggest priority would be covering my fees that come from the projects: domains, hosting, etc
  • After that, I would look to spend the income on new one-off classes or bootcamps: learning more that I could use in my projects
  • Finally, upgrades to my development and gaming PC, and perhaps even other living expenses after that

This would cover all of my monthly expenses related to my open-source development: my JetBrains IDEs, Cloudflare domains, Cloudflare workers, GitHub CoPilot, and similar as they come up.
