You probably heard about me because I am the founder of the Twisted python networking engine open source project. But I’m also the author and maintainer of several other smaller projects, a writer and public speaker about software and the things software affects (i.e.: everything), and a productivity nerd due to my ADHD. I also post a lot about politics; I’d personally prefer to be apolitical but unfortunately the global rising tide of revanchist fascism is kind of dangerous to ignore.

@[email protected]Cryptography, privacy, quantum security, infosec, retro vibes.
I am a mathematician and computer security scientist, with a strong interest in cryptography and anonymity, specialized in quantum security and complex cryptographic protocols. I am also a privacy hacktivist and public speaker, blahblahblah, read my Linkedin bio for this s**t, this is my Mastodon corner.
I co-develop Shufflecake, an open source privacy disk encryption tool to help journalists, activists, and whistleblowers evade unjust prosecution.
I am an advocate of digital self-sovereignty. You will see me often ranting about Big Tech, enshittification, and surveillance capitalism.
Fascinated with anime, Japan, RPGs, retro computing, and all things 80-90's. Notice I wrote "fascinated", not "knowledgeable".
Here you won't find peace nor forgiveness, but just: #cryptography #privacy #quantum #security #infosec #retro vibes!
