🦠Hi, I'm building microBioRust – blazing-fast, eco-conscious bioinformatics tools focused on microbes. It is on the lines of Rust meets genomes, with less memory leaks and more metabolic pathways.

I’m bridging computer science, biology, and bioinformatics to create tools for the community, and with the community. From parsers to pipelines, I'm collaborate with amazing international developers and microbial bioinformaticians to make open science faster, more eco-friendly and slightly less painful.

Your sponsorship helps keep the bugs in the right places (genomes) and out of the code. I’m not funded elsewhere—just fuelled by science, community, and probably too much coffee.

Thanks for helping this project evolve! 🦠

If I had 25 monthly sponsors I would be able to: ☕ Drink coffee that isn’t labelled “For Research Use Only.” 🌍 Support more global contributors be they 🖥️ or 🦠, Add new features at the speed of a doubling E. coli and 🧬 Build smarter, faster, greener tools—minus the genome-sized burnout. Basically: fewer funding worries, more beautiful bugs (in genomes, not code), and more time building tools that help the bioinformatics community actually get things done.
