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-derivative operating systems and non-commercial, lightweight 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: social movements in anarchist communities, creating 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 and technology come from a more fundamental curiosity 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.
