👋🏼 Hola! My name is Millán (pronounced "mee-yahn")
🦝 I help local small businesses take back control of their content by crafting web solutions that focus on data ownership and autonomy. 🦊 I help mission-driven orgs fight the good fight with scalable privacy focused tools and platforms. 🐔 I build community by teaching JavaScript fundamentals to other queers, bipocs, and folks that are historically underrepresented in tech.
🔐 I write about stuff I'm passionate about - data privacy, accessibility, open source tools, Linux, and community-driven tech. 💞️ Always looking for other disruptors. 📫 How to reach me: millan.fig@gmail.com. 🍉 F R E E P A L E S T I N E ! 🍉
