I WORK at the intersection of technology and philosophy, bridging theory and practice to promote thoughtful innovation.

I CARE about the social and political impact of cryptography, peer-to-peer networks, and distributed systems in empowering individual autonomy, protecting freedoms, and creating systems that resist censorship.

I OFFER my expertise and facilitate collaboration for groups that uphold these principles, with a commitment to promoting shared prosperity and upholding human rights in the digital space.
