Who are you?

I'm currently an undergrad student about to graduate with degrees in Physics, CS, and Math with a minor in high performance computing. Although I can code in many languages, I specialize in C++, C, and python. Your sponsorship will help me make some high quality software.

What projects are you working on?

My greatest software accomplishment is the mdxx static site compiler, which is currently in an alpha state (i.e. it works on my computers (which are running Linux Mint, Windows 10, and Arch), but I need to implement several important features, set it up so that it's easy to distribute, and I need to write the tutorial on how to use it). Furthermore, I designed and wrote a large part of the tuacm.com website with help from Nikita Zdvijkov. My other large project, cpp_cli, is currently not a focus and contains some outdated documentation as I was still learning to write C++ at the time, though I might fix it up as I make more progress in mdxx.

What else do you do?

When I'm not coding, I often write articles or make videos of various STEM topics, which you can find listed on my website. I intend to get a graduate degree in physics after a gap year or two, so most of my time will be spent writing code and producing educational content.

@TheLandfill

I'd just be happy to know that people find my code useful.

Featured work

  1. TheLandfill/mdxx

    A static site compiler that can be extended with c++ (and eventually python if you want it to be slow) plugins.

    C++ 1
  2. TheLandfill/cpp_cli

    This repository consists of a library designed to make parsing command line arguments for c++ easy and efficient and a few simple programs showing you how it works. **Made some major updates in how…

    C++ 11

Thank you!

I doubt I'll be able to provide any special services for $1 unless you have a really cool idea for a feature or you want something simple like mentioning you somewhere in the README for a project.

$5 a month

Select

The Medium Membership Program costs ~$5 a month, and it only takes one sponsor at this tier to make sure I can continue to publish high quality articles like The Memory Hierarchy, Approaches to Solving Problems in Physics, or Switch Statements Won't Fix Yandere Simulator.

$10 a month

Select

At $10 a month, I can afford to rent out a server and start implementing something cooler than static sites like my personal website and the website for the ACM Chapter at the University of Tulsa. I could also start extending mdxx to be a site generator instead of just a static site generator.

$20 a month

Select

If I had ~100 people at this tier, I'd be able to work on coding, writing articles, and making videos full time. I'd also be much more likely to implement feature requests at this tier.

$40 a month

Select

At this tier, I'd be willing to offer personalized support along with all the other benefits listed above.

$80 a month

Select

I'd try to implement at least two requested features, depending on the complexity of the features.
