About
Canadian with 13 years in Japan writing about tech and society, Buddhism, travel, and more!
I work in tech (#opensource #DWeb #a11y) and read international relations, politics, and SFF books, practice Buddhism, and have been vegetarian since 2015 when I started waking up to the climate crisis. You can read more about my history on my full About page (I also have a Uses page there too!), but here is a TLDR:
- Professionally I consult for software companies at Shōjin where you can get info on how to hire me. I have availability opening from mid-Feb
- I am active in the DWeb Vancouver community.
- Engaged in the digital sovereignty debate with the Public AI Network.
- On the board for GoodBot Society which does policy analysis and education programs for responsible tech.
- Run Protocols for Publishers ✨, a community and event series that brings together web publishers and protocol developers to discuss the future of promoting agency on the open web.
One more thing: if you are interested in sharing tech policy papers come join our community on Lemmy.
