Julian is a full-stack developer working in the open social web and community building space. He founded NodeBB Inc., a modern forum software platform, since 2014, and has been an outspoken champion for forum-style asynchronous communication styles ever since. In 2023, NodeBB released its ActivityPub integration, and with it, forum platforms officially joined the fediverse.
For fun, Julian rock climbs, conducts concert bands, and plays the saxophone. He can be easily swayed with a good shawarma.
