Unrelated note, we have been initiating an AUTHOR.md to send our appreciation to our earliest contributors. Would you mind if we make a badge for you with your name on it, linking to your github profile?
If I can get your permission to do so, we will start designing a badge for you on Monday :)
It's nothing fancy but our team is very excited to receive our first PR!
