GitHub Sponsors Profile
My goal is to enable people to control the technology they use. Currently, I focus on mobile computing and Android in particular. I started the Free Your Android campaign with the Free Software Foundation Europe and also write actual code to enable people to regain control of their devices. Some examples of my work are Transportr, Briar, Seedvault Backup and Blitzmail. I also contribute to other projects such as F-Droid and CalyxOS.
Receiving donations for my work helps me to stay motivated spending my free time maintaining my existing projects and starting new ones.
