I am a dad and climate activist in Boston (USA) focusing on transportation, culture jamming and direct action. I work as a computer programmer on medical devices, previously on agroforestry. I have many side projects, mostly websites for activist groups.

Self organizing systems, foss, workers rights, environmental justice and pedal power.
