Olivier Baumann

Concentrated power prefers opacity. I build products that don't. Right now that means Republik Magazine, one of Europe's few digital magazines owned by the readers it serves, not advertisers - where I serve as CTO and Deputy Executive Director.

Previously I co-founded Electricity Maps, making grid carbon intensity readable at a moment when data centers were just starting to act on it, and founded Queer Coding Camp, because access to technical fluency is not evenly distributed and that bothers me.
