Note

I'm Nick Jennings, a full-stack developer with over twenty years building for the web, and a core contributor to open-source projects focused on decentralization and the open web — most notably Kosmos, Sockethub, and remoteStorage. Outside of code, I play banjo, fiddle, drums, and various electronic instruments across several bands and solo projects, and I led a documentary series filming musicians in Senegal.
