Marcel Waldvogel is geek, entrepreneur, open source enthusiast, manager, professor, and politician, all in one person. He believes that stability and sustenance require decentralisation, federated structures, and personal/organisational (data) independence. While technical solutions have never solved social problems themselves, they often simplify solving them. Therefore, he researches new and elegant ways to more efficiently support decentralisation, federation, and data independence, using clever combinations of simple user interfaces, powerful integration, and strong cryptography.

A software developer focusing on "distributed network".
