Intro

The feeling of working on open source is strangely unique and fulfilling. You feel as though you’re contributing to a greater good comprised of a network of brilliant people from all around the world. It’s a sensation that I rarely feel in my general work as a software engineer, and it reminds me of why I got into programming in the first place.

Towards that end, I’d love to share some of the open source projects that I’ve worked on, with the hope that they will inspire someone out there to do the same!

Whether it’s finding a cool project that you’re interested in, forking it, and contributing back, or if you want to get better at publishing your own open source projects, I encourage you to get out there and start committing!
