I'm Charlike! 👋

Software Engineer for a decade, with a passion for minimalism and music. Delivering delightful digital solutions, marketing, and consultancy. Currently excited even more about decentralized software and protocols, P2P, cryptocurrencies, and Rust.

I'm actively using Web technologies to create delightful digital experiences for the Web, Desktop, Mobile, and the Terminal. I'm helping other developers to build amazing software, apps, and products by making better and smarter developer experiences.

In the past 7 years, I'm writing daily a lot of Free and Open Source software, contributing to other projects, tweeting from @tunnckoCore about interesting ones or sharing some of my thoughts.

I'm not just open-sourcing some random stuff by and for me. I've participated in a number of small and big projects like @JSTransformers, @date-fns, the @Conventional-Commits specification & @Conventional-Changelog, @Node-Formidable (lead maintainer and contributor) which is also part of the growing @Tidelift network, @MicroJS (non-active currently). And also started other projects like @DateTime & @RegexHQ, where we collaborate and maintain date & time utilities and regular expressions, with some of the biggest names in the (JavaScript) Open Source world - @johno, @jonschlinkert, @sindresorhus, @AddyOsmani, @MathiasBynens, Tom Byrer and more. The organizations are not that active, but in general they are stable small packages and not that bad.

Combined, my software has ~140 million downloads per month, growing at a fast pace, and is used by some small and big projects & companies like

• @Microsoft - as a deep dependency in some of their software
• @vscode/vsce - the VSCode Extension Manager (uses parse-semver)
• Eclipse's Open VSX - Eclipse / Open VSX, extension manager
• semantic-release - Fully automated version management and package publishing
• Ethereum - in several communities and tokens around it
• @WhiteSource - secure and manage open source components
• @RenovateBot - Automated dependency updates
• CodeceptJS - Modern Era Acceptance Testing Framework for Node.js
• OrientJS - Official orientechnologies's OrientDB driver for Node.js
• @Decentraland - open source decentralized virtual world on the blockchain
• @ConsenSys - Ethereum Blockchain Solutions
• Aragon.org - Unstoppable decentralized organizations on Etherium
• @TruffleSuite - World-class development environment for blockchains
• @Strapi - Open source Headless CMS to build customizable and modern APIs
• node-formidable - multipart/form-data library, used in hundreds of production environments
• @Seek-OSS, @leboncoin, Electron-Forge

...and many more. It's just hard to track or at least takes a lot of time.

You can always dig in at my account charts on Npm-Stat.com (takes time to load). Or the ever-pumping charts of formidable.
