Who are you?
I'm Leo (he/they)! Welcome to my little place on the internet. It's a bit messy, but do make yourself at home. I do quite a bit, including…
- working as the Principal Software Engineer (Web, Platform and Internal Tooling) at a stealth startup
- working as Innovation and Outreach Lead at Voxa
- community organiser and volunteer coach for codebar
- thing-doer for Not Another Pizza
- conference speaker
- being a matchmaker, hyper-social being, overqualified friend and "a wonderful human being with a very intricate cadence"
- being "vastly entertaining and fun to work with"!
- existing as "an agent of chaos and destruction… just a gremlin"
What are you interested in?
I contribute to open source (mostly in TypeScript), organise events and speak at conferences. The guiding principle of my career (and to some extent, my life) has been to help cool people do cool shit.
I use my site as a home for all my projects on the Internet, as well as to share what I learn. I'm big on hosting my own services when I can, instead of relying on cloud providers. Learn more about this here.
Right now, my focus is on…
- AI safety and the social side of gradual disempowerment
- Self-hosted services
- Decentralisation and personal data privacy
- Community and event organisation, and tech meet-ups
- Open data
- Developer tooling and internal tooling
What would you like to learn more about or get into?
- Lego!
- Machine learning, particularly from first principles
- Photography
- Embedded software
- Reverse engineering and cybersecurity
- Computer networking
- CNC machining and 3D printing
Where have you spoken?
I've spoken in (in order of most enjoyed to least enjoyed)…
How do I get in touch?
