Ricardo Mendes
Middleware Engineer & DevOps Specialist
I'm a middleware engineer/devops, Dad, writer, and digital autonomy advocate based in Brussels.
I geek out on politics, technology, information systems, democracy, justice, coercive groups, and discernment.
This site is my personal hub for long-form writing, curated bookmarks, and open-web experiments — where ideas about tech, autonomy, democracy, and digital culture meet.
Since February 2026, this site is also my personal ActivityPub instance, every posts you see on this blog can be fetched from the fediverse.
