Why FOSS Matters to Me

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) isn’t just a tech preference — it’s the foundation of everything I do.

I’ve seen firsthand how open tools can unlock opportunities for communities that are often left behind by expensive, closed platforms. Whether I’m building web apps, writing DevDigest tutorials, or mentoring youth in under-resourced areas, FOSS lets me deliver solutions that are accessible, transparent, and built to be shared.

Beyond code, it’s about empowerment: when people can inspect, modify, and redistribute tools, they’re not just users — they become creators, problem-solvers, and contributors.

This philosophy isn’t an afterthought. It shapes how I work with clients, which tools I choose, and the kinds of projects I take on. If your goal is to build something open, ethical, and sustainable — I’m all in.
