Hi, I'm Gio /dʒəʊ/ :wave:

I'm a Physicist and a Software Developer, and I write Open Source Software in my spare time.
I primarily maintain libraries in the Python ecosystem, with a recent focus over the Rust language.

Over the years I contributed to projects like web2py and pyDAL, created Emmett, a Python web framework, and a series of libraries for it.

The projects I mainly maintain at the moment are:

• Emmett - The web framework for inventors
• Renoir - A templating engine designed with simplicity in mind
• Granian - A Rust HTTP server for Python applications

How Sponsorship Helps

Sponsoring is another way of saying thank you to the maintainers and contributors of open source projects and it can make the difference to the people involved in such projects.

But aside from showing your appreciation, sponsorship:

• keeps the software free for everybody: I won't ever need to make code closed source or add premium/paid features in the future
• allows me to provide free support: probably no one likes answering issues but whether you're a newbie or senior developer at a massive company, sometimes you need to ask a question and get a prompt, proper and well argued answer in a reasonable time
• supports the OSS principle: open-source software gets the world better every day, with thousands of companies relying on it; contributing to the open-source community financially will help this positive change continue
