Hi, I'm cblgh, a crowdfunded independent researcher + engineer!

Among other roles, I am the current editor of the Secure Scuttlebutt newsletter and one of the main devs behind Cabal, a peer-to-peer group chat I develop together with cool internet friends. During 2019-2020, I researched and proposed a subjective moderation system, TrustNet, for my Master's thesis.

My work focuses on combining usability with peer-to-peer concepts and applications. The intent is to create easy-to-use, sustainable infrastructure + tools for people and their communities. I also spend time putting my experience into words by writing about experiments, observations, and ideas.

Every donation helps bring new projects & ideas into the world and creates breathing room for maintaining existing ones—thank you so much!
