I'm James, and I'm a... technologist, I guess? I'm interested in all sorts of things, but they all tend to revolve around a belief in the power of the web to unite us and make the world a better place.
As well as my actual job with @dxw, I always have a bunch of side projects on the go. Here's a few highlights:

I founded @OpenPolitics, an experiment in using open source ideas for politics. As part of that I founded @SomethingNewUK and stood for election a few times.
I help maintain a some open source data validation tools I built while at @theodi, now as part of @Data-Liberation-Front
I run a public Mastodon server https://mastodon.me.uk
I also knock up handy web apps to scratch itches in my non-coding hobbies like boardgaming and 3d printing.

If you decide to sponsor me, I can guarantee an eclectic mix of work probably without any useful outcome. But hey, if you like any of what I do, knock yourself out.
