I am a Software Engineer based in McKinney, Texas, with over 10 years of experience building high-performance backend systems and distributed cloud-native applications. My mission is to build developer tools that are fast, free, and accessible to everyone.

What I’m Working On: Floci

I am the creator of Floci, a lightweight, open-source AWS service emulator. Built with Quarkus and GraalVM, Floci is designed for developers who need a reliable local cloud environment without the "gatekeeping" of paid tiers or mandatory auth tokens.

While other tools have moved toward restricted community editions, I am committed to keeping Floci:

  • Truly MIT Licensed: Open and extendable for everyone.
  • High Performance: Starting in 24ms and using 91% less memory than alternatives.
  • Feature Rich: Unlocking services like RDS, ElastiCache, and Cognito for free.

Why Sponsor Me?

Open-source development requires significant time and resources—from maintaining the 400+ SDK compatibility tests to expanding the 45+ supported AWS services. Your sponsorship directly supports:

  • Infrastructure & CI/CD Costs: Ensuring every release is stable and highly compatible.

  • Feature Expansion: Adding more AWS services and improving the developer experience.

  • Community Support: Allowing me to dedicate more time to fixing bugs and supporting users on GitHub.

By sponsoring my work, you aren't just supporting a project; you are investing in a future where local cloud development is fast, simple, and always free.

Thank you for supporting independent open-source software! 🚀
