Hey all, thanks for stopping by!

About me

I'm Suriyaa Sundararuban, a hobby developer and contributor to a number of projects. I love Open Source! ❤️

My Story

Everyday life is like programming, I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it. -Donald Knuth

I got into the Open Source world when I was 11 years old. In 2013 I joined GitHub to contribute to a broad variety of Open Source projects. I have been doing that for more than 8 years now.

My Track Record

I maintain 30+ RubyGems packages (with 106,200+ downloads), many MediaWiki extensions (which are used by a wiki farm with over 79,200 registered users) and many Open Source projects across multiple GitHub organizations.

Why supporting?

If you or your organization (company or non-profit) use any of my projects or like what I’m doing, please consider backing me so I can continue maintaining and evolving all my projects and new ones. I'm in this for the long run.

You're probably using or depending on some of the projects I'm contributing to. For instance:

• 💰 Bitcoin - Bitcoin is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money
• 💸 Ethereum - A global, open-source platform for decentralized applications
• 🏄 Mozilla Firefox - A free and open-source web browser
• 🐛 Mozilla Bugzilla - A web-based general-purpose bug tracking system and testing tool
• 📝 MediaWiki - The collaborative editing software that runs Wikipedia
• 🐍 Python - The Python programming language
• 🏃 Go - The Go programming language
• ⌚ Django - The Python web framework for perfectionists with deadlines
• 🍷 Jekyll - A blog-aware, static site generator in Ruby
• 👮 Vertcoin - A digital currency with mining decentralisation and ASIC resistance as a key focus

I also maintain these projects:

• keylogger - An Open Source Keylogger Collection in Python
• 🔓 win-lock-screen - Enable & disable the lock screen on Windows
• 📛 Animate a Name - A playful Google-like doodle
