Become a sponsor to Nicolò Ribaudo

👋 Hi, I'm Nicolò!
I have been a core maintainer of Babel since 2017, and I currently one of the most active maintainers.

Maintaining such a big project does not only mean coding: I spend a considerable amount of my online time helping Babel's community and ensuring that everyone finds a welcoming environment. My aim is to make it easy for everyone to start contributing to Babel, and for the existing contributors to feel to be a valuable member of the community.
I also manage releases (with a monorepo of 150 packages, it is not an easy task!), and answer questions in our Slack channel.

I usually contribute to many related projects related to Babel and to JavaScript tools, like regenerator, regexpu-core and compat-table. I'm also the author of jest-light-runner, a popular alternative runner for Jest with full ESM support.

This approach led me to contribute to different ECMAScript proposals and to become an invited expert to TC39 meetings. I now contribute to TC39 as part of my job at Igalia, and I am currently a co-author of the Records and Tuples and Module expressions proposals.

When offline, I am a math student at University of Turin, in Italy 🇮🇹.

When to not donate to me?

  • If you want to support the maintenance of Babel, you should consider donating directly to the project on GitHub Sponsors or OpenCollective: those funds are distributed across all the currently paid maintainers, rather than going directly to a single one.
  • My contributions to Records and Tuples and to the various TC39 proposals related to modules are part of my job at @Igalia, so I'm already being paid for that! However, if really you want to donate for something related to Igalia, I suggest checking the Open Prioritization and Open Web Docs projects.
@nicolo-ribaudo

Currently all my OpenSource work is sustained via Babel's OpenCollective. Reaching this goal will allow me to regularly spend some time helping the tools that Babel or Babel users rely on, even if they don't directly affect Babel's main packages.
