Hi, I'm Rae (they/he). I'm a curious, systems-minded person based in San Francisco. Most of my free time goes into exploring how things connect — in technology, art, ideas, and everyday life.
What I'm doing right now
- refining my homelab + self-hosted tools
- writing small notes, zines, and reflective pieces
- walking, biking, making things by hand
- exploring solarpunk + liberation-aligned tech ideas
What I care about
I'm drawn to systems — technical, social, ecological, internal — and how they shape the ways we relate and live. I value curiosity, cooperation, thoughtful design, and humane approaches to technology. Much of what I do centers on autonomy, connection, community, and building with intention.
Creative + technical interests
- Linux, self-hosting, resilient networks
- writing, zines, visual/system design
- photography, sound, small media experiments
- DIY/making (electronics, sewing, 3D printing, carpentry, etc.)
- systems thinking + future-oriented ideas
If you want to see what I make
I keep a small, evolving studio space here (like a playground for ideas and technical experiments): dev11.systems
