About

As an activist and software developer with a profound personal connection to areas severely impacted by climate change-triggered wildfires, I bring a unique blend of technology and social advocacy to the fight against climate change and systemic risks. My notable contributions include founding Twitter, creating OAuth, and advocating for decentralized alternatives to corporate social monopolies. These accomplishments highlight my deep understanding of digital systems, security, user engagement, and the importance of empowering local communities.

My expertise lies in building large-scale systems with global reach, designing humane technology deployable at scale, and approaching technology work with creativity, social sensitivity, and care. I am committed to leveraging my experience to develop digital platforms that facilitate community-based climate adaptation strategies, improving disaster response communication, environmental monitoring, and resource sharing among communities. My aim is to create solutions that are not only effective but also sustainable and equitable, ensuring that technology serves as a bridge to a more resilient future in the face of climate change.
