Hi, I'm 🧑‍🔬 Matt Davis — engineer in 🦞 Maine, originally from Illinois, running
OpenSensor Engineering LLC. I've been building Python 🐍 and Django applications
since 2007, starting while finishing my B.S. in 💽 Computer Engineering at the
University of Illinois 🏫 ('08 graduated with honors 🪙).

I'm a maintainer of pipenv and a member of the Python Packaging Authority.
Beyond packaging, most of my open-source time goes to:

  • LightNVR — a lightweight open-source
    network video recorder, now past its first year with a growing deployment base.
  • django-forms-workflows —
    a Django form builder and multi-step approval engine, built to get organizations off
    proprietary SharePoint/Power Automate workflows.
  • open-tx-isp and
    OpenIMP — clean open implementations of
    the ISP driver and media stack for Ingenic camera SoCs, so thingino-firmware users
    can run fully open camera firmware instead of vendor blobs. This work also produced
    coordinated security disclosures for boot ROM vulnerabilities affecting these chips.
  • pythonfinder, growmax, and assorted
    smaller tools.

Sponsorship covers the real costs behind this: 🤖 AI credits and local GPU inference
that drive the reverse-engineering and driver work, 📷 camera and dev hardware that
mostly gets torn apart, ⚙️ tooling and licenses, hosting for demos and CI, and the
unpaid hours of triage, review, and disclosure coordination that keep these projects
maintained.
