I need your help. I'm looking for sponsors to keep my open source contribution going. 🙏
Last October 2025 I lost my job. 9 months unemployed now, first time this ever happened in 4 years. I interviewed at Automattic but couldn't pass the trial. Applied to many companies, some never replied.
So I started contributing to WordPress projects to spend my hard time in a good way. This year I made 150+ PRs and just hit the 100 merged mark. Thankful to every reviewer who taught me and merged my work. Coding standards were tough for me at first, but now with practice and AI help, it's much easier.
I don't want to stop here. I'm looking for 40 hours/week sponsorship to keep going full time. Even 1 hour/month means a lot, and I'll promote your sponsorship on my blog, socials, and YouTube.
It's not just about money, it's about giving back. If I don't get sponsorship, I won't stop, but I'll be slower, and that's what I hate most.
Top projects: Co-Authors Plus (18), WooCommerce (15), Mailchimp for WordPress (13), LifterLMS (9), Static Site Importer (9), and more across Imagify, Newspack, Plugin Check, Pods, WP Rocket, Yoast, Gutenberg.
Thanks to @NinjaForms (@JamesLaws) and @dannyvankooten for sponsoring me before, means everything.
All PRs: mypr.pro.bd/faisalahammad
