everything is brokena work in progress; i just try to break it on purpose—so we can build something better.

i’m manfred. chronic system breaker, open-source addict, and full-time mistake-makertinkerer. i’ve co-founded scaleway (cloud), berty (privacy), and now gno.land (smart-contracts). i’ve contributed to 900+ open-source projects, prototyped faster than i could document, and tested more ideas than i care to count. the plan? build cool, useful tech. reality? even better—scaling challenges, wild experiments, and the thrill of figuring out what actually works.

because here’s the thing: open-source is messy, startups are unpredictable, and decentralization? turns out, reinventing systems is hard. but that’s the fun part. i believe in breaking things to build them stronger, in challenging assumptions, and in pushing technology toward something that actually works for people.

so i keep going. because there’s always more to explore, more to create, and more ways to make things a little bit better every day.
