Benjamin furthers the commons and the humanities using the monikers balupton and bevry.

The open-source software I maintain receives half a billion installs each month, is used by every big tech company, and is likely on your computer right now!

To put this into perspective, react receives 50 million installs a month and is built by an incredibly well funded team.

Despite this tremendous output, I am not employed by any company. I rely primarily on the funding here to support my contributions and existence.
