Remote worker with 15+ years of experience - Last seen 1 year ago

I build and maintain secure, decentralized systems with and for under-resourced communities. My toolchain is 100% FOSS, my ethics are anti-capitalist, and my clients tend to be folks who don’t fit into Silicon Valley’s tidy little monoculture.

After years of clowning in extractive tech industries, I now focus on infrastructure that actually empowers people: mesh networks, offline-first tools, open education stacks, local-first storage, encrypted comms, and radical documentation. If it can't run on a ThinkPad with a broken hinge and no internet, it's probably not liberation tech.

Async-first. Project-based or long-term collabs. Prefer to work with cooperatives, NGOs, grassroots orgs, activist networks, rogue librarians, and rural tech collectives. If you're VC-funded, you’re probably in the wrong tent.
