I'm the CEO of PolicyEngine, where we build open-source tools to compute the impact of public policy on households and society. In my spare time, I build open-source developer tools and public goods.

Your sponsorship directly funds development and infrastructure for my personal open-source projects:

OpenMessage — open-source Google Messages for desktop

OpenMessage brings SMS/RCS messaging to your computer as a native desktop app with AI tool integration (MCP). Read, search, and send text messages from your desktop — no proprietary apps, no cloud middleman. All data stays local on your machine. openmessages.ai

What sponsorship funds: Apple Developer Program ($99/yr) for signed macOS builds, domain costs, and continued feature development.

TerminalGrid — keyboard-driven terminal layouts for VS Code

TerminalGrid transforms VS Code into a powerful terminal workspace with full grid layouts, project picker, and auto-launch for AI coding tools like Claude Code.

RAMBar — macOS menu bar RAM monitor

RAMBar shows real-time memory usage in your menu bar with per-app breakdown, Chrome tab details, and Claude Code session tracking. Built for developers juggling multiple AI agent sessions.

All projects are open-source and free forever. Sponsorship helps cover infrastructure costs and keeps development active.
