Logo Rob Braxman Tech

I'm the Internet Privacy Guy. I'm a public interest hacker and technologist. I use my extensive knowledge of cybersecurity and tech to serve the public good. There are enough tech people focused on the corporate side. Very few care about what happens to the average person. I care about privacy. I warn you of digital manipulation, disinformation, mass surveillance.

I also discuss alternative communication modes especially with a prepper focus. I discuss HAM radio, SDR, QRP modes, Digital modes when running portable. I am a General Class licensed HAM radio operator.

I'm a successful software architect and have built many enterprise systems. I also have an open-source social media app Brax.Me

Join me on my LIVE STREAM on weekends 8-10pm Pacific Time.
