In my spare time, I enjoy collaborating with different open source projects. In these projects I often contribute to technical documentation, content creation, and copy editing.
For example, I’ve helped restyle prose to better suit a specified tone or audience. I’ve also dabbled in web design and UI/UX. By volunteering I’ve learned valuable lessons, met interesting people, and developed so many new skills.
Here’s a small snapshot of projects that I’ve contributed to:
LibreOffice: a project of The Document Foundation, LO is a free and open-source office suite.
Here’s a video commemorating the 10th anniversary of LibreOffice, with special focus on the amazing community members. (Skip ahead to 1:24 for a familiar face!)
Neher Labs COVID-19 Simulator: a web application that provides an interactive model and planning tool for COVID-19 outbreaks in communities around the world.
mpl_interactions: a library that enhances the interactivity of Matplotlib plots.
FLOSS Manuals: a non-profit foundation focused on creating high quality manuals and documentation.
