Together we have the momentum to
completely destroy each other.

Hi, I'm Brandt. I have fun making neat things.

I'm working on making distributed software easier for people who are just getting started. The transition from centralized technologies can be difficult and there's so much we can do to improve the experience for people.

Current obsessions

• Offline, peer to peer applications
• Local AI and agent environments
• Community-maintained, transparent financial systems
• Identity, privacy, and security in distributed networks
• Fiction, games, and music.

Where I exist

• 𝕏 - Pure nightmare fuel.
• Bluesky - Anything could happen.
• GitHub - If you like collaborating on code!
• Substack - If you like getting email newsletters!
• Email - firstlast at proton dot me - A pit that I infrequently gaze into, contemplate my life choices, and imagine I am alone in a sparse forest, walking gently in the sun, eating wood sorrel seed pods, feeling at peace with the destruction of the world.
