@GNUnicorn
Principle Rust Engineer, Architect, Lead & Educator
I design, build and supervise the building of software with a focus on privacy, encryption, decentralization and peer-to-peer networking for communities — as a Freelancer, often as a volunteer, whenever possible as OpenSource.
I care about good design on all sides: on the product and user experience and in a robust and scalable architecture and infrastructure. Even more, I care about people; I mentor and coach, write and educate, and facilitate and organise communities.
