<section id="jorj-x-mckie">
<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I am Jorj X. McKie (this is <strong>not</strong> my real name!) and I am an
enthusiastic supporter of Nuitka. For the time being, my focus area
within this package is standalone compilation and maintenance of the
plugin feature.</p>
<p>Apart from extending Nuitka’s support to virtually all Python packages
living out there, my driving motivation in this respect is keeping up
and improving the usability of Nuitka.</p>
<p>You may want to look into the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/Nuitka/NUITKA-Utilities">Nuitka Utilities</a> repository, which
contains many things I am working on.</p>
