Beyond the code
Interests
Nutrition & Open Food Data
Fascinated by how public open datasets can make health information more accessible to everyone. Believe that government data should be easy to explore, not locked away in spreadsheets.
Open Source
Open source advocate. I believe the best software gets built when knowledge is shared freely and anyone can improve on each other's work - and I'm working to be part of that.
Tech Privacy
Privacy is a right, not a feature. Advocate for privacy-first tech and digital sovereignty - spent a sabbatical researching the space, writing publicly, and building self-hosted infrastructure to put these values into practice.
Self-Hosting & Home Infrastructure
Passionate about owning your own data and infrastructure. Run a self-hosted stack including Nextcloud, Immich, and Tailscale, and deploy my own web app projects on a secured VM.
Nature & Conservation
Passionate about the natural world and protecting it. Interested in how technology and finance can be tools for environmental good - from tracking energy use to mobilising nature-based finance.
Linux & KDE
Daily-driver Fedora Linux user running KDE Plasma. Believe in the freedom and transparency of open OS as a practical extension of privacy and digital sovereignty values.

And like any relationship, that trust expands when honored and collapses when broken. Discord, Windows, Whatsapp - none of these giants exist without the millions of people who chose to believe in them first. Every new feature you ship is a new test of that belief.
