The incredibly smart people at Tor and in the ecosystem have taught me so much about the link between the software we use and our personal freedoms. I&#39;m proud of building out a team, successfully diversifying our funding base, and being able to experiment with innovative new methods of funding digital public goods along the way.<br/><br/>I will be taking a short break after my time and Tor and then on to new adventures. I&#39;ll share more soon! 💜 🪩 2026-10-07T18:21:41Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszznh4ad7ah6qwehg5mgse9hun9z290yd9mmuy25687xg07quwywqzyqxn28vn22y3kvq9t3w3fdt70v8mypejkyv5u3w7axwlgj066py2v7mlpr5 The Tor Project (<span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqa3r2ep603h6k68vwdfhkq75g0dmv3sfvtmkdm0gqkrf4jr2zp7dqzag30f" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqa3r2ep603h6k68vwdfhkq75g0dmv3sfvtmkdm0gqkrf4jr2zp7dqzag30f</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…g30f</span>)</a></span>) is hiring a UX Team Lead!
