About me

I’m Patrick, a Chicago-based software engineer, musician, and the founder of Subculture Collective. I build tools for artists, online communities, and subcultures, and I’m especially interested in how open-technology can support collective ownership, stronger communities, decentralization and less dependence on big corporate platforms.
