Aging minor internet wizard. I built the IMDb message boards. I ran the last.fm databases. I rendered the picturebooks at Wonderbly. I survived Makeshift. Many others lost to time. Now VP of EE at platform.sh Good at naming things.

It might be a timely read, too! It has some good explanations on why so many of us are still participating in destructive platforms like Facebook and Twitter, why they are such hellholes and what that has to do with monopolies.
