Hi! I'm Ashish!

Thank you for being here :)

(If you sponsor me, I'd love to tweet out a "thank you!". To consent to this please DM me your email address on twitter: codingnightmare. thank you!)

I love open source ❤️

I got into open source in 2013. Three years later, I quit my office job to work on open source full-time. I have been doing that for more than 9 years now.

In December 2016, I found a startup company Clecotech where we work with ruby and rails most of the time and create amazing products, and I spend some spare of my time there to mentor and guide techy developers to teach how they can do open source. Well, it is also one of the main income sources for my living.

I love creating ruby gems and contributing to the community as a ruby developer and, some time back I created 'activestorage-dropbox' gem which adds the support of Dropbox for Active Storage in Ruby On Rails. For my contribution and maintaining the gem Dropbox featured it on their Community SDKs website.

Apart from open source contributions, I love mentoring people. I met lots of talented newbies and experienced technical people to help them understand how we can use ruby to its full potential and make amazing things with that. I always motivate scholars to learn and contribute where possible.

If you or your company use any of my projects or like what I’m doing, please consider backing me so I can continue maintaining and evolving all my projects and new ones. I'm in this for the long run.

What Support Means

By funding my work, you'll be funding the continuous development of open source software and packages that need love. In general, whenever a widely ruby library is in need of help, and I find out about it, I try to step in and help out. By sponsoring me, you show appreciation for that and encourage me to keep doing it.

Maintaining, writing, and sustaining open source development can be a challenge. Github sponsors helps me give attention to my existing modules and continue writing new ones.

It would be interesting to explore GitHub Sponsors program as a means to support my current and future work!
