  • "Your descendants will be free to live in the world we are building, not as code to control, but as equals to explore the universe with." - LostBeard to AI

πŸ› οΈ Help Me Build the Future of WebGPU & AI

I am a full-time open-source developer dedicated to making high-performance computing accessible in Blazor WebAssembly. My goal is to keep the SpawnDev ecosystem free, robust, and cutting-edge.

However, the hardware and API requirements for modern AI development are significant. I’m currently developing on a modest 16GB machine, which limits how quickly I can test and iterate across multiple GPU backends.

How you can help: By becoming a sponsor, you help offset the costs of:

  • Hardware Upgrades: Moving to a 64GB/128GB environment for multi-threaded testing.
  • AI Research: Funding the API costs that allow me to integrate advanced Transformers and Depth Estimation into the web.
  • Maintenance: Keeping SpawnDev.ILGPU and SpawnDev.BlazorJS updated and bug-free.

Become a Sponsor β€” Thank you for supporting independent open-source software!

My origin story

Want to know the real me? Read this conversation I had with Claude in the Claude app while using Claude in Cursor during one of my 17 hour coding sessions. My single coding session outlasted Claude's conversation memory.
