Become a sponsor to Barry Hart

I've been a Python developer since 2009. I've contributed to many open-source projects, most notably the popular SQLFluff linting and formatting tool. I was one of the earliest contributors to SQLFluff (in 2018). I helped build out ANSI and BigQuery SQL support, then went on to develop a number of rules. More recently, I developed key portions of SQLFluff's dbt and Jinja templaters, as well as leading a big push to fix all known SQL "corruption" issues in the project, helping SQLFluff reach the important 1.0 milestone.

I enjoy working on SQLFluff, but during the pandemic, I took a significant pay cut to focus on health and family. Sponsorship will make it possible for me to spend more time supporting and improving the project -- bug fixes, performance, new features, and better support for the growing number of supported databases.

Reaching this goal will allow me to contribute regularly to SQLFluff and other projects, addressing both new issues as well as some reported a year or more ago which have not been addressed due to a limited number of maintainers.
