I've been a self-taught web, software, and game developer for over 20 years, and I tend to work on anything that interests and challenges me, especially if the fruits of my labor can be shared with others who can benefit from it.

My current open-source focus is a tool for gamers called Launchpad, designed to make it easy to bring your external games into platforms such as Steam. My goal is to make it as accessible as possible to easily manage a library of external games and make them available to add to game platforms in a way that allows them to take advantage of the features each platform offers (such as the Steam overlay).

I am also active in the Drupal community where I contribute my time to help solve bugs and maintain a growing list of modules that I offer freely to the community.

In the past, I have contributed open-source code to software communities such as WordPress, CakePHP, and Ansible, and made most of the libraries that I've built for other purposes freely available on my GitHub profile with a permissive license for anyone interested.

I've never asked for compensation for any of my contributions, but if they've helped you and you want to provide encouragement or have a larger say in where I focus my development attention, I greatly appreciate any and all support.

My initial goal is to cover the costs of the hosting services and development software that I use to work on my public and open-source projects. Additional contributions above this amount will go toward upgrading my aging development computer as well as reducing my dependence on freelance and contract work to sustain myself, which will allow me to spend more time developing software and services for the community.
