I'm a software engineer and systems architect, primarily focused on distributed network and database systems. My pronouns are ✨ she/they ✨!
I have a sponsors page, if you want to tip me for any of my open source work.
I don't want to use GitHub! I believe that the internet should be a decentralised network, and that companies have far too much power over our lives. Github is no exception to this, and while I do have this account to participate in other people's projects, I try to minimise the number of projects I myself maintain on here.
Unfortunately GitHub is a social necessity for those of us who produce code, reminiscent of the role of Facebook in the early 2010's for social engagements.
Instead of GitHub, I try to distribute my work across a number of different forges. Additionally I try to evaluate new forges from time to time as well, to potentially discover a nice community of developers, or a better workflow. I think we should all strive to get off code-facebook. I know this is hard, and the companies we work for make it even harder. But that's not a reason not to try.
In that spirit, I have code on the following forges:
- 📚 https://codeberg.org/kookie — general purpose collective forge, which I use for most of my public projects currently
- 🍵 https://cyberchaos.dev/kookie — CCC-adjacent forge where I keep my private infrastructure and Work-in-progress experiments
