no way I'm going to give that character my content or
collaborate in anything he owns or has a stake in.
Still looking for an alternative.

Independent researcher focused on public-benefit technologies. Mostly researched on high-assurance, systems and security engineering. My friends' and I's designs survived most attacks in the Snowden leaks. I also researched high-productivity software and (recently) how to make A.I. models that are as legal as they are effective. I make most of my research public domain online so that anyone can benefit from it.
I mainly worked outside of tech in hands-on jobs serving lots of people. My faith says to love and serve others to make their lives better. So, retail and hospitality have been very rewarding. Our current crew is close like a family. I am interested in moving into tech professionally, though. Especially if it's for open-source software or a paid offering that improves people's lives.

I maintain a website with translations of pg's essays to polish language, http://esejepg.pl/.
I do software nowadays, but I'm constantly looking for opportunities to do something actually useful for humanity. If you know of some, please let me know - especially if they involve biotech, cleantech or NewSpace industry.
