About Me

Hi, I’m Jerrett, but most people call me JD. I’m a full-time software engineer and technical architect, and I’ve always had a passion for creating. Whether it’s software, art, or music, I love the process of building and improving things. While I enjoy coming up with new ideas, my real passion lies in taking existing concepts or systems and refining them—finding ways to make them work better, smarter, and more effectively.

Software, in particular, is a powerful tool for this kind of creative problem-solving. It’s accessible, flexible, and with just a computer, you can create almost anything. That’s why I’m a strong believer in open-source software and a free, open internet that encourages everyone to participate and contribute.

Why Sponsorship Matters

Working on FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) projects is where my heart is, but like anyone, I have to balance that with making a living. Sponsorship allows me to dedicate more time to these projects, focusing on improving and building tools that can make a real difference, both for developers and the broader community.

If you choose to support my work, thank you—your contribution helps me keep focusing on what matters: creating and refining tools that help empower others. I'm excited to continue building with the open-source community, and I truly appreciate any support along the way.
