My work lies at the intersection of technology and the solidarity economy. I’m passionate about strengthening the digital commons, in which people control and steward communication technologies as collective goods.
I’m interested in how digital commoning is made possible through cooperative ownership, decentralized technologies, and governance structures that allow strong patterns of communication and constructive feedback loops.
I’m a co-founder and editor of COMPOST, an online magazine about the digital commons, and project manager of Distributed.Press. I’m a contributor to Hypha Worker Co-operative and also a Digital Commons Fellow with Commons Network.
I’ve been involved with Internet Archive’s work in organizing conversations, resources, and events surrounding the decentralized web (DWeb) since spring 2019, and I was one of the original stewards of the DWeb Principles.
My former projects and employers include the Oakland Public Library, Public Citizen, Shareable, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
