#introduction

Hi there, my name is Evan.

I'm a web developer, aspiring writer and permaculture enthusiast from Montreal.

I discovered the fediverse around two years ago, and ever since, I've been extremely passionate about advocating for the dream of autonomous, peer-to-peer social media.

This recent catalyst from the #twittermigration inspired me to finally launch this node here on public.garden. Seeing the fediverse become so recognized in the mainstream lexicon -- even if it is known just as "mastodon" to most -- has been both extremely joyful and extremely surreal to me.

As for my other endeavors, I am a professional #wordpress web developer, with a special interest in developing within the Gutenberg Block Editor ecosystem. I am excited about Gutenberg as much as I am excited about the fediverse, but I won't go into too much detail. I am slowly building a freelancing career at https://evan.works. If you want a really sweet blog, portfolio or e-commerce site, hit me up!

I am also working on Poetry Garden ( @poetrygarden ) an open access Wordpress multisite that allows users to create customizable websites that serve as personal writing portfolios. It is currently launched as an MVP.

I am working on integrating it with the fediverse using the incredible plugin by @pfefferle . I also did a minor contribution to that plugin to integrate the federation better with Buddypress.

Finally, I am interested in #permaculture, #intentionalcommunity, sustainable living and minimalism.

And I make dolls out of cattails. Here are two pictures!
