About me

My name is Jan-Carel Brand, most people call me JC. My XMPP/IRC/reddit/HN/mastodon etc. nick is "jcbrand". My JID and email address are jc <at> opkode.com

I'm a self-employed contractor.

I'm a maintainer of Strophe.js, the JavaScript XMPP library and author of Converse.js, which is a JavaScript XMPP client. I host the conversejs.org XMPP server.

I occasionally blog (indirectly) about XMPP (mostly about Strophe.js and Converse.js). My blog is here: https://opkode.com/blog

I've authored and co-authored various XEPs.

I served on the communications team where I wrote and sent out the newsletter and was an XEP editor. I'm currently serving on the XSF board.
