Lanyards by day, terminals by night
My dayjob involves back-end digital product development in Web technologies in the not-for-profit sector, though my preferred digital dwelling is the command line, among unix-derivatives and non-commercial, lightweight indie tech.
I was born in the mid-80s in London, UK. I spent my 20s and early 30s involved in a lot of local activism: prefigurative social movements in anarchist communities, making radical independent media - activism largely focused on economic injustice, environmental injustice and the extensions of these 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 stem from a deeper 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, mutual aid & solidarity against oppression.
