I write the Fediverse Report, a news site about what is happening in the fediverse.

This is my personal account, where I share and comment on anything I find interesting.

I care about an ethical internet.

Reluctant software engineer

With dreams of escape

I work in QA for #VivaldiBrowser and also handle much of the release process for desktop products.

I generally favour very simple technologies that allow me to better understand and fix things. On the other hand Vivaldi is so powerful and permits so much flexibility, that I love it anyway. 😉

I am also a keen #unicyclist and a fan of other unusual simple cycles. #ActiveTransport for the win! 🚴

Previously a software nerd, today I'm disillusioned with the industry as I do not see how it matters when most of us humans can't afford good food.

Got lucky with a startup, exchanged the small fortune for some land. Now you can find me tending to soil, planting seeds and being fascinated with life in all its forms, somewhere in the hills of Kodaikanal, India.

I remain a lifelong learner as I'm often wrong - but there lies my superpower - I can eat my own words and turn them into manure 😎
