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.

It's great to start small. My sponsors validate the contributions that I make to others and grant me the time to build more things! You make it worth the effort and I appreciate you 😍
