Open Source & Digital Privacy

As a strong advocate for digital freedom, I actively support:

  • Privacy-respecting technologies and practices
  • Digital rights education and awareness
  • Ethical technology that empowers rather than exploits users
  • Transparent systems that prioritize user control over personal data

I use and promote privacy-focused tools like ProtonMail, Linux-based operating systems, and end-to-end encrypted communication platforms. I believe that privacy is a fundamental right that must be protected in our increasingly digital world.

My Philosophy

I believe in the power of words and ideas to transform society. My approach combines traditional wisdom with modern innovation, creating solutions that are both practical and visionary. Whether through legal advocacy, creative expression, or social entrepreneurship, I aim to make a meaningful impact on the world around me.

As a strong advocate for open source software and digital privacy, I believe that technology should empower individuals rather than exploit them. I support transparent systems that respect user freedom and privacy as fundamental rights in our increasingly digital world.
