Hi! My name is Christian Resma Helle. I'm a software developer currently based in Copenhagen, Denmark with roots in the Philippines

In my free time, I build developer productivity tools like Visual Studio extensions, CLI Tools, and lightweight stand-alone desktop applications for SQL Compact database management and code generation.

I am the creator of the following projects:

• ZigFaker - a Zig library designed to minimize the setup/arrange phase of unit tests by removing the need to manually write code to create anonymous test data. It is a Zig port of AutoFaker and is inspired by AutoFixture.
• Argiope - A web crawler for broken-link detection and image downloading, written in Zig
• Clocz - A fast, multi-threaded command-line tool for counting lines of code, written in Zig
• HttpTestGen - .http File Testing Framework - A powerful .NET source generator that automatically converts .http files into fully functional C# test code. This tool bridges the gap between API testing in IDEs (like Visual Studio Code with the REST Client extension) and automated testing in your .NET projects.
• Azure DevOps CLI - Command-line interface for Azure DevOps operations, streamlining CI/CD workflows and project management.
• HTTP File Runner - A powerful command-line tool, Terminal UI (TUI), and GUI application (Native as WASM) written in Rust that parses .http files and executes HTTP requests, providing colored output with emojis to indicate success or failure.
• AutoFaker - Python library designed to minimize the setup/arrange phase of your unit tests
• Refitter - Refitter is a tool for generating a C# REST API Client using the Refit library. Refitter can generate the Refit interface and contracts from OpenAPI specifications
• HTTP File Generator - A tool for generating .http files from OpenAPI (Swagger) specifications
• cURL Request Generator - A tool for generating cURL Requests from OpenAPI (Swagger) specifications
• Multi Document Reader for OpenAPI.NET - An OpenAPI reader that merges external references into a single document using the Microsoft OpenAPI toolset.
• REST API Client Code Generator - A collection of Visual Studio C# custom tool code generators for Swagger / OpenAPI specification files
• JMeter Test Plan Generator - Generate Apache JMeter test plans from OpenAPI specifications for load testing and performance validation.
• SQL Compact Query Analyzer - A SQL Server Compact Edition Database Query Analyzer
• SQLite Query Analyzer - A modern, cross-platform SQLite database management tool built with C++ and Qt, recently updated after a decade.

After developing a few open-source and free software projects over the years I noticed the user base of my software is growing at a rate that I did not expect. I am looking into sponsorship to fund the use of 3rd part services for crash reporting, diagnostics, and feature usage tracking in my Visual Studio extensions and stand-alone desktop applications. The amount of activity in my software is unfortunately far and way beyond the point where I can use the free tier of the 3rd party services I wish to integrate with

If you or your company use my projects or like what I do, please consider sponsoring me.

Thank you!
