About

Hey! ✌️ I’m the creator and indie maker of Metamorphic — a human-focused social networking alternative to big tech where privacy is standard. Metamorphic uses Elixir, Phoenix, and Live View (Phoenix). Running on Fly.io’s multi-region wireguard network and Storj.io’s decentralized object storage solution. Becoming a parent cemented my wish for SN alternatives — ones that didn’t subjugate you to the machinations of big tech. And with a head full of naïveté I set out to make what I couldn’t find — Metamorphic. Influences include Shoshana Zuboff, Noam Chomsky, and Ralph Nader (among others), who have championed improving people’s lives tirelessly throughout their careers. My (ambitious) hope is that Metamorphic could one day improve people’s (online) lives too.
