Become a sponsor to Joe Ruiz
Hi, I’m Joe — a disabled 56-year-old self-taught Python developer. I’m not chasing a tech career or trying to land a job at a big company. I build creative tools because I enjoy it. It keeps me learning, experimenting, and having fun.
I live on a fixed income (SSI), and this work gives me purpose and pride. I’m not asking for much — just coffee money or small donations to help me keep going. Every bit helps me stay independent and keep creating.
My projects include image converters, sound tools, and playful mini-games — all built with care, polish, and a sense of fun. I love branding my apps with splash screens, icons, and a consistent look. I’m working toward a unified creative toolkit that feels like a sandbox for makers.
If you’d like to support my journey, I’d be truly grateful. Your sponsorship helps me keep building, learning, and sharing — one small step at a time.

Support jjar7266's open source work
I’m aiming for 5 sponsors to help fuel my open-source experiments in sound, image, and interactive art. My projects—like MusicArtSandbox (where music meets playful visuals), AutoCrop (for smarter image framing), Sound_Music_Converter (for clean audio workflows), and PicConverter (for fast image format swaps)—are built with clarity, reproducibility, and hands-on learning in mind. Your support helps me keep refining these tools, documenting the process, and sharing minimal, working code that others can build on. Whether it’s polishing a sandbox for creative expression or streamlining media pipelines, every sponsor helps me push further and share more.
