* As the primary author of recent JSON Schema drafts, I am offering my services to companies that wish to use or build on the specification, including as part of OpenAPI or AsyncAPI* I hope to encourage the use of JSON Schema's new vocabularies feature, which allows 3rd parties to define interoperable sets of keywords for purposes such as code, UI, and documentation generation* I also offer API design consulting, with a particular interest in REST and Hypermedia* I am also happy to work with HTTP APIs that are not strictly RESTful, and prioritize usability and suitability for purpose over philosophical purity
