Sponsor Marcus R. Brown

I maintain open source developer tooling. If you use what I build, sponsorship keeps me funded to keep it working.

What I work on

Principal engineer & architect with 22 years in software. Current focus: agent-native systems, developer tooling, and open source maintenance.

• bfra-me/works — TypeScript tooling configs (ESLint, Prettier, tsconfig presets) used across my projects and a handful of others
• marcusrbrown/systematic — Structured engineering workflows for OpenCode
• fro-bot/agent — Deployable agent harness with first-class GitHub and Discord support
• marcusrbrown/.dotfiles — Reproducible dev environment configuration

Plus issue triage, PRs, and reviews across the projects I depend on.

What sponsorship funds

• Time on the tooling above instead of squeezing it between contracts
• Faster bug-fix turnaround on the projects sponsors actually use
• Continued contribution to the upstream projects I rely on

How sponsorship works

GitHub Sponsors lets you pick any amount. Sponsors are recognized in the section below, classified into tiers by GitHub.

I'm not running a consulting business through this. No monthly calls promised, no custom dev work, no logo placement, no SLA. If you need any of that, contact me directly.
