André is the leader of the project. Despite studying audio engineering and being a professionally trained pianist and piano teacher, he has always been interested in digital technologies. He began his career in software development by managing IT infrastructure for small associations and activist groups. Working in this context helped him become aware of the actual needs of people and the serious usability problems that often arise in open source projects. He firstly just reported problems, then began writing code himself. For several years now, he is employed as a Full-Stack Web Developer and Advanced System Engineer. 2020 he started regionally focused Fediverse instances that are now operated by the association graz.social – association for the promotion of ethical digital culture. @linos@graz.social
