Robin Brown - Esoterra
I've lived in Raleigh, NC and the triangle area almost my entire life. I care deeply about cooperation, consensus decision making, communication, and the organization of information. I am a technologist and have worked on web services, websites, compilers, big data processing, and more.
I am a Rust programmer and WebAssembly (Wasm) expert. Reliability, security, privacy, and accessibility are very important to me and I am attracted to technologies that advance those goals and I'm an opponent of hostile and exploitative companies and the technologies that empower them.
I am also a conference speaker and amateur writer. This website is a place for me to practice and share my work.
Blog
My blog primarily contains technical posts that try to make a complex topic accessible, but will grow and change as I explore new areas and share other parts of my life and interests.
