Hi, I’m Swastik Baranwal — an open-source developer passionate about tooling, compilers, and fostering FOSS culture.

I’m a contributor to The V Programming Language and author of Box CLI Maker, a popular CLI library notably used by Kubernetes’ minikube ☸️

I maintain the V language library, including integrations with the catppuccin 🧑‍🎨 theme ecosystem and the nixpkg Maintainers team under NixOS 🏗️, contributing whenever I can.

Lately, I’ve been active in the WebDriver ecosystem — contributing features and bug fixes to Selenium, WebdriverIO, and Appium for more reliable and easier testing workflows 🤹‍♂️.

Beyond code, I contribute to open source governance, tooling, and infrastructure projects — including work with charmbracelet, the TODO Group, OSPO initiatives, TUIs, CLIs, and more.

My journey has been featured on the GitHub Open Source Friday podcast 🎙️, Open Source Initiative (OSI) 💚, and the GitHub Maintainer Month Library :octocat:

I also organise community meetups in Delhi with FOSS United, where I serve on the first governance board to help nurture FOSS culture in India. From May 2023 to January 2025, I also served as a CFP reviewer for the foundation.

I have participated in writing reports including OSPOlogy BoF 📔

In addition, I’ve volunteered at GopherCon (2024, 2025), KaiCode’24, written book reviews, spoken at developer events, and continue to be involved in growing the open-source ecosystem.

It would be fabulous if you could sponsor me. A small amount will make a big difference and motivate me further to work on open source and also help me to purchase technical books or setups which help me ease the work.
