Vision & Values
I am a half-Filipino, white presenting software engineer from Los Angeles.
In my career I was a vehicle software test engineer for Toyota, and a technical support engineer for Politics Rewired.
I believe our communities can create less exploitative workplaces through worker self-directed enterprises, and that by doing so we can improve quality of life for workers and build more sustainable endeavors that benefit a greater number of people.
I also believe digital spaces can empower us to better share knowledge and distribute labor, and I am constantly learning more about how we can build an Independent internet, decentralized and federated digital spaces, and consentful tech, while protecting data privacy.
As someone living through and always learning more about the lasting effects of imperialism, I also believe we can and should strive to repair the harm inflicted on currently and formerly enslaved/colonized people and their ancestors.
