Day job is software analyst/developer in tradfi on MS & IBM. Enthusiast for OSS and decentralised protocols like Arweave and IPFS. Have built many Linux servers for local community groups and charities. Came across this project when I joined Farcaster in January '24, but because of family illness I have only recently had time to set up my first Q node (July '24). Hoping that this project can break the oligopoly of Azure, AWS and Google
