Hi, I'm Colin, and I've been programming for over 15 years and I've been a creator my entire life.
Currently I am the primary maintainer of the tuya-convert project, developed to free IoT devices from the cloud for the sake of privacy, security, control, and ownership. I contribute back to many open source projects as well, submitting bug fixes and feature enhancements to popular projects like tuyapi, Sonoff-Tasmota and many more. I'm constantly working on new software and libraries which I publish for anyone to use or learn from, such as a lightweight syntax highlighter and many more found on my github.
I'm passionate about being open, from software to data to science and more. I believe that closed doors stifle progress and create artificial barriers. I believe that by being open and sharing our ideas we can develop faster and better solutions and maximize the impact of our work.
That's why I choose to share my work for free with the world, hoping to help and inspire as many people as possible. I do also realize that in our current societal structure, we need to make a living to support ourselves, including feeding our families and keeping a roof over our heads. Additionally, these projects have associated equipment costs, from development to reverse engineering and thorough testing.
So I ask that, if you have benefited from or appreciate the work I've done, and have the means to do so, please consider supporting my work through a contribution of any size you deem appropriate. Your support allows me to continuing devoting time to answering issues, providing support, refining, developing, and contributing to open source projects. I appreciate in advance your consideration!
