Hi, I’m Johannes Filter! 🙋🏻‍♂️

I'm an Open source developer using technology as a tool for social progress.

My work is focused on Civic Tech, Human-Computer Interaction and Machine Learning. Previously, I studied computer science at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany.

I am an activist for more transparency in the public sector. Together with FragDenStaat, I fight for Freedom of Information and I frequently participate in projects of the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany such as Code for Germany. Because I still believe in the liberating effect of Open source software, I regularily contribute to it on Github.
