Experience & Expertise
Leveraging 20+ years of experience in open-source technology and digital infrastructure
Open Source Practitioner
My journey in open source started as a developer at XWiki in 2005. Now, I lead OpenSPP—software that helps governments deliver aid to citizens who need it most. Open source isn't just a licensing model to me; it's a practical way to build sustainable, locally-owned technology.
- From contributor to project leader across two decades
- Building ecosystems, not just code, around DPGs
From Local to Global
I've worked with countries like Laos, Togo, Iraq, and the Philippines. No matter where you are, tech works best when it adapts to local realities—not the other way around. Based in Asia but regularly on planes to wherever the work takes me.
- Field experience in diverse contexts, not just theory
- Working with UN agencies, governments, and NGOs
Hands-on Technical Skills
I've spent 20+ years writing code and designing systems. When I advise on architecture, it comes from actually building solutions—not just theoretical knowledge. My experience spans from low-level API design to guiding complex system migrations.
- Built real-world systems that serve millions
- Applied AI to solve concrete problems, not chase trends
My Approach
A methodology built on collaboration, transparency, and sustainable technology choices
People-Centered
I prioritize user needs and local contexts, ensuring that technical solutions are appropriate for the people they serve and the environments they operate in.
Open First
I prioritize open-source solutions whenever they exist, along with open standards and transparent processes that provide flexibility, prevent vendor lock-in, and enable collaboration.
Knowledge Transfer
I focus on building local capacity and ownership, ensuring that clients can independently manage and further develop their systems after our engagement concludes.
