Ignacio RONDINI
Sofware Developer and Founder
Axoly Tech
I am Ignacio Rondini, the founder of Axoly Tech and a dedicated software developer. Having working several years in the digital sector, I became aware of the environmental and social impacts of technology. I believe that software should be designed with our planet and societies in mind. That's the reason why I advocate for accountability within the digital and technological sectors. I seek to foster a culture of responsible technology use, development, and deployment. As part of this commitment, I host a podcast focused on responsible technologies in Spanish (https://open.spotify.com/show/5kL8IQj731B4E2EAvhvbaJ?si=8dd34fc8e75a401c).

My name is Anna Zagorski, I am a research associate for Green IT at the German Environment Agency.
