Hi, I’m Jon, a developer based in Buffalo, NY who enjoys building practical open source tools across a range of languages and domains.

My projects include py-telegram-notifier, a lightweight Python tool for sending Telegram messages via context manager or CLI; box2d.nim, Nim bindings for the Box2D physics engine; wiki_dump, a library for traversing and downloading Wikimedia Data Dumps; and stubgen-pyx, a stub generator for Cython code that has found real use across the community.

I like working at the edges of ecosystems: bridging languages, wrapping C libraries, or making large datasets more accessible. Sponsorship helps me carve out time for maintenance, documentation, and new projects that are genuinely useful but not commercially motivated.

If any of my tools have saved you time, I’d be grateful for your support.
