Hey, I'm Matthew 👋

I spend my days fighting the bad guys on the internet. Used to do it at Cloudflare, now I'm doing it independently while building tools that (hopefully) make other people's lives easier.

What I'm up to

I've got a few projects running that people seem to find useful:

dnsjson.com - DNS over JSON that I built 2 years before DNS-over-HTTPS was even a thing
asnjson.com - Quick ASN lookups without the headache
fuelaround.me - Real-time UK fuel prices because petrol stations are basically thieves
octojoin - Automatically joins Octopus Energy saving sessions so you don't have to remember

Plus a bunch of security research and anti-abuse work that keeps me busy.

Why sponsor me?

Look, I'm not going to pretend this is charity work. I'm semi-retired these days, so your sponsorship lets me spend more time on the interesting projects instead of taking on consulting gigs.

Here's what happens with your money:

More time on open source - Those tools above? They need love. Bug fixes, new features, keeping them running when someone inevitably finds a way to break them.

Security research - I like poking at things to see how they break. Sometimes I find interesting stuff worth sharing.

Writing - I'm trying to get better at explaining security concepts without putting people to sleep.

Helping people - Answer questions, review code, point newcomers in the right direction.

The sponsorship tiers

$5/month - You get a warm fuzzy feeling, a sponsor badge and I get coffee money. Fair trade.

$50/month - Same warm feeling, a sponsor badge plus I'll actually respond to your bug reports and prioritize them, instead of leaving them in my inbox.

$250/month - Same warm feeling, a sponsor badge, prioritized bug report handling and a commercial license for my projects, all of them.

$500/month - I'll join your company chat app for help and support, as well as monthly proper chat about security stuff. I promise to sound more professional than I do here.

Get in touch

If you want to sponsor me, great. If you just want to argue about security on the internet, also great.

Cleaning up the internet, one badly written regex at a time.
