Support Saikei Civil
Saikei Civil is developed full-time by Michael Yoder, PE, as the primary project of Desert Springs Civil Engineering PLLC. Your support directly funds continued development of open-source infrastructure design tools.
Why Support Matters
Unlike most open-source projects maintained as side projects, Saikei Civil receives full-time professional engineering attention. This means:
- Faster development cycles — dedicated focus on the roadmap
- Professional-grade code — engineering rigor applied to every feature
- Responsive maintenance — bugs and issues addressed promptly
- Long-term stability — sustainable development, not sporadic updates
Funding ensures this work continues and accelerates the path to production-ready infrastructure design tools accessible to everyone.
