My dayjob involves technical project management in digital development in the not-for-profit sector, though my preferred digital dwelling is the command line and the back-end, among unix-derivatives and non-commercial indie tech.
I have spent the best part of my 20s and early 30s involved in small social movements and organising efforts against local economic injustice and its extensions in the UK's 'hostile environment' policies towards refugees, migrants and asylum seekers. I believe another world is possible: sustainable, caring, cooperative.
My interests in digitality come from a broader interest in wanting to understand and work through the media ecologies that surround us, as well as some inkling of hope in the possibilities of digital tech in finding a world in common; a world of attended-to rather than exploited resource, sharing, mutual aid and cooperation.
I have no long-standing background in tech, but I've been exploring unix-derivative computing for a few years now. I run Arch purely because this is the distro I began with as I felt it presented a good opportunity for learning - building systems up from scratch, breaking and learning by fixing. These days, while I still run Arch through familiarity, I'm increasingly interested in switching to a BSD operating system - I just haven't yet made the leap.
