I work at the intersection of open technologies, agroecology, environmental monitoring, and the collective construction of knowledge. I develop and support open source tools aimed at strengthening sustainable territorial practices, connecting local communities, universities and international networks.
Sessions
Presenters tabling at Thursday's Demo Night Market are invited to gather on the Main Lawn to practice your pitches, hone your storytelling and receive feedback from mentors and peers.
We'll also test out equipment and internet connection, and ensure you feel ready to demo tomorrow!
Back by popular demand: the DWeb Demo Night Market -- a festive evening kick-off event where you can get a taste of tech from around the world, directly from the decentralized tech stack. We’re highlighting “ready to test” new tools, in a beautifully lit outdoor market, where you can grab a cocktail and wander through dozens of select projects demonstrating their latest breakthroughs.
In part, check out projects to help plan for what sessions to attend in the week ahead.

Open source toolkit and methods for soil health monitoring
How are marginalized agricultural communities across the globe building their own infrastructure and adapting technology to their specific climates? Hosted by Shalini, this interactive session opens with a look at community-led resilience in rural India—from feminist farming practices to decentralized Wi-Fi mesh networks. Following the introduction, participants will choose their own adventure and break out into one of three simultaneous, hands-on workshops led by our international fellows. Whether you want to prototype solar-powered irrigation, master participatory soil testing and data tracking, or engage in grassroots design, this session offers a deep dive into practical, farmer-governed tools.
