Become a sponsor to Nikhil Rajput
π Hi, I'm Nikhil Rajput
I'm a Software Development Engineer and AI Lead at StarApps Studio, building products professionally since 2021 and coding since 2015. I maintain open-source packages that developers download tens of thousands of times a month.
π What I Do
- πΌ At StarApps: Leading AI/ML integration and shipping AI-powered Shopify apps that merchants use every day
- π¦ Dart & Flutter: Maintaining flutter_carousel_widget, get_time_ago and cloudinary
- π€ TypeScript & AI tooling: Building mcp-vitest (Vitest-native testing for MCP servers) and ai-sdk-threads (chat persistence for the Vercel AI SDK)
- π οΈ Stack: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Flutter, Ruby on Rails, Go
π By the Numbers
- flutter_carousel_widget - 41k+ downloads a month on pub.dev, 160/160 pub points
- get_time_ago - 9k+ downloads a month on pub.dev, 21 locales
- mcp-vitest and ai-sdk-threads - full docs at mcp-vitest.nixrajput.com and ai-sdk-threads.nixrajput.com
- 630+ stars across my repositories
π‘ What Your Sponsorship Funds
- β Maintenance - dependency and security updates, bug fixes, and a first response on issues within 48 hours
- β Infrastructure - hosting for the docs sites, demos and CI
- β Time - dedicated hours each month for features and documentation instead of squeezing them into evenings
π― Current Goal: $100/month
That covers the infrastructure and buys back one dedicated open-source day a month. Ten $10 sponsors get us there.
Every sponsor, at any tier, is listed in the project READMEs. Thank you for considering it! β€οΈ
Ten monthly sponsors covers the hosting and CI behind my packages and buys back one dedicated open-source day a month: dependency and security updates on schedule, a first response on issues within 48 hours, and time for features and docs instead of squeezing them into evenings. Every sponsor, at any tier, is listed in the project READMEs. π
