Who are you, and where are you from?

Call me Zee (or my real life nickname Zac). I am based in the UK where I am studying a Masters part-time. I also work as a software test automation engineer - AKA SDET. I'm pretty serious at work 😅 hopefully GitHub Sponsors is a chance to take open-source projects seriously too!

What are you working on?

I maintain and develop tooling for the VS Code extension developer community. My work keeps the lights on in many an extension & for many a tech employee's UX 🙂 I also contribute back to VS Code and other tools I use.

Why is their sponsorship important? How will you use the funds?

Money will be used to stretch my entry-level salary, renumerate me for hitting milestones in some of the larger libraries I own, and also buy me tools and training materials for my development workflow. I travel a lot and this helps things add up :)
