Hi there! I'm Robin, a consulting software architect and developer from India. I've been interested in open source since the very beginning, becoming a part of Codeproject, Stackoverflow and Github since they launched. I always wanted to give back to society, and open source is my way of doing it.

My focus is on helping developers integrate advanced technologies into their C# projects, such as FTP file transfer, CefSharp embedded web browser, Scintilla high-performance text editing, etc.

How does sponsorship help me?

I have been a freelancer for more than a decade, and your contributions go towards supporting my work and my family. I only recently started asking for donations to fund the time I spend on these open source projects. Everything I receive goes into household expenses and paying the bills. Even $25 a month helps a lot and I'll be very grateful.

The Tiers are still a work in progress, if you have any suggestions please let me know.

I currently develop and maintain the following free and open source projects:

C# - FluentFTP

The most popular FTP and FTPS library for the .NET platform. It has received over 4 million downloads and dozens of kind people have stopped by to contribute to the project. I am a major contributor and owner/maintainer of this library.

C# - SharpBrowser

The fastest full-featured web browser for .NET built using the amazing CEFSharp framework. (an engine that uses the Chrome browser in the back-end). I am the developer and owner/maintainer of this application.

Vue.js - vue3-touch-events

A universal event system for vue.js 3.x projects that offers touch, tap, swipe, rollover and drag events on PC or mobile. I am a contributor and maintainer.

3D - Grasshopper Docs

The versatile 3D graphics designer called "Rhino" has a little-known visual programming language called "Grasshopper". Grasshopper lacks documentation for the thousands of user-contributed components and addons, which prompted me to develop this website, which offers up-to-date component reference docs to users. I am the sole developer and owner/maintainer.
