Become a sponsor to Pool Camacho
Hi, I'm Pool. I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years shipping production software across LATAM, Europe and the US. I build open source tools I wish existed, focused on performance, security and operational simplicity.
What I'm currently building
- z8run: a visual flow engine in Rust and React. Self-hosted alternative to n8n and Node-RED, with sandboxed WASM plugins, a binary WebSocket protocol and parallel DAG execution.
- aegis: a Rust CLI that detects malicious npm packages before you install them. Catches obfuscated eval, typosquatting, maintainer takeovers and suspicious scripts. Local-first, no cloud, no accounts.
- Maple: a native macOS Git client built in SwiftUI. Fast, free, no Electron. Talks directly to the Git CLI, with full diff viewer, commit graph and stash management.
Why sponsor me
These projects are free and open source, and I build them in my own time alongside full-time work. Your sponsorship lets me spend more hours shipping features and fewer hours taking on extra consulting work.
Every contribution directly funds:
- New features and bug fixes across z8run, aegis and Maple
- Binary distributions (macOS notarization, code signing, crates.io releases)
- Documentation, demos and technical writeups on dev.to
If any of these tools have saved you time, or if you want to see them evolve faster, a sponsorship goes a long way. Thanks for considering.
