Hi, I'm Thomas, watson on GitHub and wa7son on Twitter. I'm a Node.js core alumnus, open-source developer, and conference speaker.

You might know me from a conference talk, or have some of my code in your dependency tree without knowing it.

I've created packages such as ci-info, require-in-the-middle, module-details-from-path, and bonjour. Packages I've authored have been downloaded more than 40 billion times on npm, with contributions and maintenance from many others along the way.

I also enjoy seeing what else JavaScript can do, like tracking airplanes using radio signals. And I collect computer-history videos and folklore.

If one of my packages has saved you time, a talk has taught you something, or a project has inspired you to experiment, sponsorship is a way to say thanks and support my continued open-source work.

One-time and monthly contributions are both appreciated. Sponsorship comes with my thanks, but no promises of particular features, response times, or support.
