What I'm looking for

I’m interested in collaborations that turn critical thinking into practical education, public-interest technology and meaningful policy change.

At ALT-TEXT, I’m advancing critical AI literacy and digital autonomy through education, research and advocacy. I’m interested in who controls AI, who benefits from it, and what it means for our ability to think, create and make decisions for ourselves.

Previously, I was Managing Director at Media Diversity Institute Global and worked across international media development, EU-funded projects and digital policy, including the DSA, AI Act, European Media Freedom Act and Copyright Directive.

I also work hands-on across open-source technology, self-hosted infrastructure, automation and digital design. I’m interested in collaborations that turn critical thinking into practical education, public-interest technology and meaningful policy change.
