Hi, my name is Fabio (pronoun: they). I'm an aspiring critical technologist with a strong interest in the political and ethical issues of our digital society.

I love Free Software, which I've been using and advocating for for almost 30 years. I'm particularly interested in community-led software projects, in other words "free software" as "open/distributed governance" as opposed to simply "open source".

I value encryption and decentralised systems as means to defend our digital rights. As an information security trainer, I've attended, taught, and organised workshops for various categories of people and professions, particularly for journalists.

I am a co-organiser of Guix London, a series of monthly meetups about the Guix project. I used to co-organise @CryptoPartyLDN@mastodon.earth, a series of events on digital-rights inspired by the CryptoParty movement.

My tech stack is primarily comprised of Emacs, the fully customisable text editor and programming environment, and Guix, the functional, declarative, transactional operating system and package manager. I love programming languages of the Lisp and Scheme families, Guile in particular.

I am a founder of Reckon Digital, a London-based software consultancy.

My pronoun is they. I live in London. I'm vegan.
