About
The handle behind the work
Known publicly as nicbtw.
Founder and lead developer behind Ident.ink, writing publicly without publishing a complete legal or personal identity.
My work sits between software development, digital identity, infrastructure, security, business operations and political systems.
Many of my projects start with dissatisfaction: unnecessary tracking, fragmented tools, weak digital ownership or systems that claim reliability without planning for failure.
I prefer building a credible alternative over permanently explaining why the existing option is broken.
This blog records the ideas behind that work and the personal experiences that changed how I approach it.
It intentionally does not publish my legal name, age, date of birth, precise location, private organisations, medical records or other people’s personal information.
