He has been involved with FOSS since 2015, when he started volunteering for Snowdrift.coop. His contributions there have included user research, interaction design, message design, coining the term "crowdmatching", and proposing an approach to crowdmatching in which donations are adjusted monthly to match the extent to which the crowd's total pledge meets the project's goal.
