Become a sponsor to Lucas Gangstad
In the past decade, my involvement in the open source community has deepened, as I believe it's a powerful force for positive change. My focus is on enhancing tools, refining workflows, and understanding the human aspects of software development and engineering. I want to elevate software expressiveness, correctness, and to create an environment where developers can collaborate effectively, both in public and in private.
I'm a passionate game developer, and I'm convinced that open source has huge potential in game development. While I remain dedicated to game development, I aspire to transition to full-time open source work if I can. I believe I can have a broader effect by developing software for other developers than by creating games alone.
If you or your company benefit from my projects or resonate with my mission in the community, your support would be invaluable. Your backing allows me to keep doing what I'm doing and amplifies my contributions. I really appreciate it.
Communities I contribute to
Here are some of the main ways I help contribute to various communities, mostly surrounding Roblox open source software:
- Crafting Roblox open source ecosystem libraries
- Developing roblox-ts libraries
- Nurturing the Roblox OSS Community on Discord
- Offering assistance and support for common tooling and libraries
- Steering the community as an admin, ensuring it's a safe and productive place
How your sponsorship helps
While I'm passionate about open source software, I still have responsibilities towards my own well-being and that of my family. To meet my financial needs, I rely primarily on private work. Sponsorship enables me to invest more time, resources, and even extend sponsorship to the broader community.
Every contribution aids in covering expenses for tooling, domain registration, hosting, volunteer endeavors, development projects, and extending sponsorships to those I rely on.
