About

Hi, my name is Paweł Pokrywka and you are reading my blog.

My motivation

• I believe we deserve better privacy, better security, better institutions, and we should fight for more freedom. There are some principles, ideas, and projects I want to promote.

• On a few occasions, people wanted to know more about my research or the projects I'm working on. I want to share my research and contribute to the community.

• We need each other. I want to connect with like-minded people to build great things together.

• I also have some personal development goals, including improving my English and fighting my perfectionism. Expect errors in the text.

How & what?

Contact

You can send me an email using the following address, just replace “[at]” with the “@” character.

There is not much activity on most of my social media accounts because I’m not a social media person. The only social network I enjoy is Farcaster, so feel free to follow and contact me there.

You can also contact me via my LinkedIn profile. It will be helpful if you add a note when trying to connect, otherwise, I may accidentally ignore your invitation.
