I am a full time software developer for a multinational corporation. In my spare time I like tinkering with stuff, be it software or hardware. And when I'm missing a tool for such tinkering, I make it - either by writing my own, or improving somone elses open source project.
I write software to reach goals which I set to myself. But I also try to keep it universal and useable for others.
For hardware which I'd like to tinker with next, or for hardware and software which I use for said tinkering.
If you find value in what I do then, please feel free to donate to me. You can use my open source software completely free of charge, in bounds set by license agreement of each project. I don't expect donations, nor do I insist that you give them.
As a statistics, yes. It is something I might consider when planning future goals. But the donation does not bound me to spend more time on a specific project. From this page, you are donating to me, not to a project.
At the moment no project of mine has internal donations. Some projects have to be completely non-profit due to legal reasons, other are just not large enough to have its own donation system.
Currently I accept donations via Paypal only. My Paypal email is: mefistotelis@gmail.com.
Feel free to get in contact with me and I will be happy to discuss further.
No more than anyone else. If you need help, first try searching the web. Only if that won't help, open an Issue in related project.
Contact me directly only in matters which are either sensitive or would not bring value to others. If we talk in public, the next person may have better luck finding the answers by just searching the Web.
Good for you. Spend your money on something you want.
No. Custom software requires proper contract and properly evaluated budget. Plus I usually don't have time for freelancer jobs.
