Building free and open source, privacy-enhancing, surveillance-resisting tech like Cwtch (@cwtch)
Hello. I am Sarah, a privacy and security researcher, focused on metadata resistant communication (via @cwtch), e-voting security, and privacy for and within marginalized communities (queer privacy).
You may know me from my work with the Open Privacy Research Society (@openprivacy) where I served as Executive Director, and now as president of the board.
Available for contract work (via @blodeuweddlabs).

Many years ago we (@openprivacy) made the decision to self-host our code/CI infrastructure; we don't regret that choice, but it's a choice that has required a lot of work over the years.
New accounts on our instance are by-approval only to limit the spam. We have custom scripts that filter out mass scraping bots that would otherwise bring down our servers. It's a pain.
As a side project i've been working on a mostly-static forge concept to tackle those issues (https://sarahjamielewis.com/log/2025/senary-static-repo.html)
