🌶️ I like my work both hard and soft. 🌶️ My mission is all about that spicy middle ground where robust system architecture meets genuine emotional safety.

Why choose one when you can have both? 😉

I spend my days bridging the gap: making sure the "hard" tech stuff—ethical code and decentralization—plays nicely with the "soft" stuff—inclusive community building and human wellness.

We need systems that are strong enough to protect us, but flexible enough to welcome us.

Want to help build an Open Web that feels this good?

🔥 “Creative Technologist.” Sounds cool, but what does it mean?

I’m not a coder. My strengths are communication, community building, and organizing events that bring people together.

For me, it means using tech as a creative tool to connect people. I try to design spaces where care, empathy, and community come first.

Think of it like this:
✨ A chef who invents new kitchen tools
✨ A musician who builds the instruments they play
✨ Tech as rhythm and presence—creating space for people to gather

Tech isn’t just platforms or protocols. It’s about people. When we center care and empathy, we move from networking to real connection.

💬 That’s what I mean when I say I’m a Creative Technologist.

How do you explain your role outside your field?

We filled up 11 boxes with freshly picked #GrannySmith #apples yesterday. Me, Hannah & 2 volunteers went out on a small pick(1 tree). An excellent harvest gleaning day - for Hannah's last day with LifeCycles.

And the chilling truth is this, if white folx will inflict this level of harm on themselves, it is no wonder that appeals to “your better half” go unheard when that abuse is directed toward “the other.”

Wasn’t sure what I could’ve contributed as a 🌈 nondev at FediCon but thankfully @reiver said sure 🤭

Glad to be part of the FEDI community since the great twitter migration of 2022/23 when @manlycoffee suggested for me to join this place as a designer and creative 🙏

💥Battle isolation with senior group fitness!

At the Milano Senior Center in #Melrose, MA, members ages 65–97 are proving that movement builds more than muscle—it builds belonging. This seated battle ropes circuit (side winders!) delivers more than physical power—it’s community in motion.💪🏾

One of the most corrosive things about social media culture is the way it actively discourages relationship building. This is primarily a social problem, not a technical problem, and I observe it in the fediverse too.
