Hi! I'm the director of the Dyne.org foundation and work as applied cryptographer at The Forkbomb Company. My research subject is algorethics, and my latest creation is Zenroom.

My name is Denis Roio, and I hold an "old school" Ph.D. which is, literally, in philosophy. I've coined the term Algorithmic Sovereignty and publish articles on topics related to free software, ethics and society, media theory and mathematics.

I've started and facilitated many free and open source software applications and some projects for the European Commission.
