Hi, I’m Jiwon. I do software engineering, tinker with hardware, and teach media art hardware workshops in Seoul. I’ve been working on Fedify, an ActivityPub server framework; DrFed, a debugging platform based on ActivityPub; and Feder, a portable ActivityPub server framework. I like systems software and embedded programming, and I also love making small machines.
