Become a sponsor to Ulises Gascón
I ❤️ Open Source, helping others with my technical skills and sharing my knowledge with the community in many ways. My journey in open source started over a decade ago, driven by a passion for DIY Robotics and the Maker movement.
I have been contributing a lot of my personal and professional time over the last decade. My current open source activity is highly focused on the JS ecosystem.
I have dedicated my time to maintaining and contributing to over 180 open source packages, including some of the top 100 packages on the npm registry like mime-types, send, serve-static, express, body-parser, and morgan.
I am currently a member of the Express Technical Committee (TC), as well as a Node.js core collaborator and releaser.
