I am the founder and lead developer of cURL and libcurl. An internet protocol enthusiast, an Open Source person and a developer. President of The European Open Source Academy
I create software. You find information about my various Open Source projects on these web pages and on my GitHub profile.
I participate within the IETF, primarily in the HTTPbis and QUIC working groups.
I speak in public every now and then.
I stream curl development on twitch occasionally.
I work full-time on curl from home for wolfSSL and Haxx
I write weekly email reports you can read. Almost like a newsletter.
I receive a fair amount of curious emails. My name appears in many products.
