I'm interested in building a more open, private and user-controlled digital world.
I enjoy exploring open-source technologies, end-to-end encrypted services, self-hostable alternatives and homelab setups. I'm always looking for ways to own my data, reduce reliance on Big Tech, and move towards a more independent digital life.
I believe technology should respect privacy, put users in control, and avoid locking essential features behind recurring subscriptions.
- 🔐 Privacy & Security — Minimizing tracking, protecting personal data, and prioritizing end-to-end encryption wherever practical.
- 🌱 Open Source & FOSS — Preferring free and open-source software that offers transparency, freedom and control.
- 🕊️ Digital Freedom — Supporting data ownership, interoperability, user choice and freedom from vendor lock-in.
- 🔒 End-to-End Encryption — Prioritizing services where only the intended participants can access the content of their communications and data.
- 💸 No-Subscription Philosophy — Preferring FOSS, self-hosted solutions, or one-time/lifetime purchases over recurring subscriptions whenever possible.
- 🏠 Self-Hosting — Running my own services where practical to gain more control over my data and infrastructure.
- 🚫 Less Big Tech Dependence — Gradually de-Googling and de-Microsofting my digital life, replacing services where suitable alternatives exist.
I use GitHub to explore open-source projects, experiment with useful tools, contribute where I can, and document what I learn.
I'm particularly interested in projects that improve privacy, reduce dependence on proprietary ecosystems, and give users more control over their digital lives.
I'm always interested in discovering useful FOSS projects, learning about self-hosting, and connecting with people who care about privacy, encryption and digital freedom.
If you're working towards a more private, open and independent digital world, let's connect!
Less tracking. Less lock-in. Fewer subscriptions. More control. 🌱
