Become a sponsor to Mert Cobanov

Hi, I'm Mert. I'm a senior AI engineer at Refik Anadol Studio, where I work on Dataland. Outside of that I maintain a handful of open source projects, mostly things I needed and couldn't find.

What I work on

• pspssh, berryssh, nokia-ssh - modern SSH on hardware everyone gave up on. curve25519, ed25519 and chacha20-poly1305 on a PlayStation Portable, a BlackBerry, and a Nokia E72, talking to a current OpenSSH with nothing weakened on the server side. Alongside them, a preservation archive of BBSSH, the GPLv2 BlackBerry client last released in 2011
• teslamate-mcp - an MCP server over the TeslaMate database, so an AI assistant can answer questions about your own car's data
• watchdock - self-hosted Docker watchdog. One dashboard for local and remote hosts, with crash and recovery alerts pushed to your phone
• Instagram unfollower checker - runs in your own browser console, no install and no third-party site. The repo gets around 54k unique visitors a month
• terminal.army - a multiplayer space strategy game you play entirely from your terminal, currently being rewritten in Go
• sshls, better-tailscale-ls - small terminal tools for seeing what is actually running across a fleet

Why sponsor

All of it is free and will stay that way. Sponsorship pays for the hours that go into issues, docs and releases instead of letting them pile up, and for the servers and the old hardware I test on.

What you get

Every sponsor is credited in the project READMEs.
