🦀 About Me

Hi! I’m an open-source developer maintaining multiple crates under the libobs-rs organization — safe and idiomatic Rust bindings for OBS Studio’s libobs.
Our goal is to make the power of OBS Studio (recording, streaming, real-time media processing) available to Rust developers through modern, ergonomic APIs.

In addition, I maintain led-matrix — a C++ project that transforms RGB LED matrices into vibrant digital canvases, complete with real-time effects, scheduling, and a plugin ecosystem.
It’s perfect for makers, artists, and developers who love combining hardware and creativity.

Also I'm working on the Talking Colonists minecraft mod.

💡 What I Work On

🗣️ Talking Colonists

• A minecraft mod that uses the Gemini Live API to let citizens of the minecolonies mod come to life

🦀 libobs-rs

• Develop and maintain Rust crates providing safe abstractions for libobs
• Build tooling such as cargo-obs-build for compiling and distributing OBS-based apps
• Ensure compatibility across platforms and OBS versions
• Write examples, docs, and guides to make OBS integration approachable for Rust developers

🌈 LED Matrix Controller

• High-performance C++/Raspberry Pi application for driving RGB LED panels
• Plugin architecture for generative art, real-time data, games, and more
• Mobile and web control interfaces for a complete IoT experience

❤️ Why I’m on Liberapay

Open-source development takes time, hardware, and maintenance effort — from keeping up with OBS releases to improving cross-platform support and writing documentation.
Your support helps me: - Keep libobs-rs maintained and evolving alongside OBS Studio
- Improve developer experience and build tools for the Rust multimedia ecosystem
- Continue developing and supporting the LED Matrix Controller project
- Cover hardware costs (Raspberry Pis, LED panels, GPUs, etc.) for testing and CI setups

Even small recurring donations help me spend more time on open-source work and less on finding external funding.
