Hi I'm Mikey 🦕

I live in New Zealand with a partner, a cat, and a small child. 🐈

In a world of enshittification, where big business eats all innovation, let's make great things because we care, because the world needs to improve, not because there is profit to be extracted.

My long-term project is Village Kit: a code-as-CAD system where anyone anywhere is able to easily make everyday things, using open source designs and local manufacturing. 🌱 🤖 (TODO, publish)

I also work on other things, such as Blinksy. 🟥 🟩 🟦

I'm currently in a sabbatical working full-time on open source, but this won't last forever. Consider sponsoring to extend my runway. Thanks. 💜

@ahdinosaur

I'd like to keep dedicating time to open source every week, and if possible, expand my level of effort further. More sponsors will help me do that, by increasing the amount I receive, but also by making my income more sustainable.
