Alex Schroeder alex@social.alexschroeder.ch

I am a data scientist, researcher, engineer, sometime-traveler, and African SFF author.
I lead software- and systems development in open data and open science, with a focus on ethics and curation. I am fascinated by the frontiers of human progress: innovation vs ignorance; wealth vs poverty, migration vs stasis.
I also drink a great deal of coffee.
