Hi, I'm Abe.

I'm a payments engineer who deals with Stripe and other payment vendors daily.

I maintain dj-stripe, the most popular Django library for Stripe integration. If you've built a Django app with Stripe subscriptions, there's a good chance you've used code I help maintain.

Payment systems I've built

  • One8.io — Parking lot payment system using Stripe Connect. Multi-rate pricing, automated payouts, webhook handling. Over $1M in transactions processed.
  • PayTheBoot.com — Vehicle booting management with Authorize.net integration. Payment processing for parking violations.
  • MergeCal — Calendar merging SaaS with Stripe subscriptions.

Other projects

  • MyHebrewDates — Hebrew calendar date tracking. 300 active users, 3000+ events synced to Google/Apple calendars.
  • dj-stripe — Open source maintainer. Rebuilt the documentation system.
  • Djangonaut Space — Contributed to Django core. Fixed session management bugs.

Why I built Charj

I kept hearing from people who had credit cards closed due to inactivity. It happened to friends. It happened in online communities I'm part of. The fix is simple: use the card occasionally. But people forget.

Charj automates that. Add your cards, pick a schedule, and forget about it. The cards stay active, your credit history stays intact.

I already knew how to build payment systems. This was a straightforward application of that knowledge.
