Hello!
My name is Andy Pan and I'm a part-time independent open-source developer who has and continues to devote plenty of effort to open-source software.

I initially started my programming journey in college by pitching into C. Later on, I successively engaged in Qt/C++, ASP.NET/C#, PHP/JS/HTML/CSS, Android/Java, Web/Python, and ultimately, Go stood out as my prime programming language and technology stack.

Nowadays, my prime programming languages are Go and C, I am the creator and current maintainer of ants - the most widely used goroutine pool for Go and gnet - the fastest and most popular third-party networking framework in Go. In addition to my personal open-source projects, I have also contributed code to many world-renowned open-source projects, such as Go programming language, redis, istio, kubernetes, etc.

Here are some open-source projects that I have been working on:

As the creator

• ants: ants is a high-performance and low-cost goroutine pool in Go.
• gnet: gnet is a high-performance, lightweight, non-blocking, event-driven networking framework written in pure Go.

As the contributor/committer

• go: The Go programming language. go.dev
• redis: Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk.
• fasthttp: Fast HTTP package for Go. Tuned for high performance.
• istio: An open platform to connect, manage, and secure microservices.
• gin: Gin is a HTTP Web framework written in Go.
• kubernetes: Production-Grade Container Scheduling and Management.
• fiber: Express inspired web framework written in Go.
• libevent: Event notification library.
• libuv: Cross-platform asynchronous I/O.

Currently, my open-source work is primarily on go, redis, and gnet, by which simple, secure, and scalable systems can be built with ease; focusing on delivering infrastructures for developers to conduct their business work with Go and C.

Suppose you have ever benefited from my open-source software/blogs and would like to show your support for the sustainability of my open-source projects. In that case, you're welcome to become one of my GitHub sponsors.

Thank you for the generous financial backing here!
