About

I am a consultant at ThoughtWorks where I have a few roles – internal software development, sometimes tech lead, and regional security champion for Australia.

I try to demystify security, encryption, and digital privacy by facilitating cryptoparties, privacy workshops, and other privacy-related events in Australia.

I also organise a community of technologists who care about privacy and digital rights called Hack for Privacy. Some of our activities are Melbourne-based meetups, and Brisbane- and Melbourne-based Internet Freedom Hack events, where technologists come together to create and contribute to open source tools that advance digital rights.
