Hi! I'm Kirk Slota.

I work on open source software. Most notably, I'm an automation architect and programmer who cares a great deal ❤ about open source and making tools work better for the people using them so they can make even better things.

I'm experienced in many languages including, but not limited to C#, Java, JavaScript and TypeScript. Additionally I have a wealth of experience within the automation space encompassing everything from traditional coded automation, artificial intelligence automation, automation at various points in the product stack and automating both functionally and non-functionally.

Sponsorship means I can spend more time on projects such as Karate Runner and support the infrastructure required to host or keep services running. If you're a corporate sponsor, it means you're effectively paying for me to keep working on these and will receive priority issue responses.

I do all of my open source work in my free time. Sponsoring allows me to put more time and effort into it, and to begin creating more than just code including blog posts, documentation, video content, and more.

Thank you for your time and consideration for sponsorship. 🙏
