My Ethics & Values
As a software engineer, I'm committed to building technology that's secure, transparent, and genuinely beneficial. Here's what I stand for.
Core Principles
Security & Privacy First
I prioritize the security and privacy of users above all else. Every system I build is designed with encryption, data protection, and compliance as foundational principles.
User-Centric Design
I build products for people, not just code. Every feature is designed with the end user in mind, focusing on accessibility, usability, and delivering genuine value.
Transparency & Accountability
I believe in clear communication about how systems work, data usage, and potential limitations. No hidden behaviors or dark patterns.
Performance & Efficiency
Efficient code reduces environmental impact and server costs. I optimize for performance not just for user experience, but as an ethical responsibility.
Social Responsibility
Technology has real-world impact. I consider the broader implications of the systems I build and actively work to prevent misuse.
Continuous Improvement
I stay informed about emerging ethical challenges in technology and constantly evolve my practices to address them.
My Commitments
Data Protection & Privacy
I adhere to GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations. Any personal data collected is:
- Used only for stated purposes
- Protected with industry-standard encryption
- Never sold to third parties
- Deletable upon request
Responsible AI & Automation
When using AI or automation, I ensure:
- Clear disclosure of AI usage
- Human oversight of critical decisions
- Bias testing and mitigation
- Fallback mechanisms when AI fails
Accessibility & Inclusion
Technology should work for everyone:
- WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for digital products
- Support for assistive technologies
- Inclusive design from the start
- Regular accessibility audits
Environmental Responsibility
Code has environmental costs:
- Optimize for performance and efficiency
- Reduce server load and data transfer
- Support green hosting initiatives
- Minimize unnecessary computation
