I’m a software developer based in Berlin, with about two decades of experience building web applications, most of it in Python and Django.
Most of what I write about here sits at the intersection of technology and its social consequences: why the systems we build end up serving the wrong people, and what better alternatives might look like. I believe open source software and decentralized infrastructure are necessary conditions for a healthier internet, and that sustainable alternatives to Big Tech require real economic models, not just good intentions and volunteer labor.
I run Communick, a commercial provider for federated social services, and I’m currently working on ADAPT, A Django ActivityPub Toolkit for building on the ActivityPub social graph. If you want to get in touch, email me or follow me on the Fediverse.
