Dearest stranger,
be my signal and I will be your noise! When Heinz von Foerster published On Self-Organizing Systems and Their Environments in 1960, he put forward a counterintuitive hypothesis: By adding more elements to a complex system, the order within that system goes up.
I think of myself as one of these elements — (relatively) "cheap undirected energy" waiting to be fed into a system. Once inside and presented with a problem, I'll get to work. I believe in the power of cooperation and self-organization.
My name is Jonathan Muth and I am a web developer with an eye for design, a product owner with an intuitive understanding of technology and a digital strategist with a background in sociology and communication sciences.
During the day, I work at Datawrapper, where I lead the technical development of all public-facing web properties, while also keeping an eye on how they serve Datawrapper's users. I take care of our nine month old son until he's ready to go to kindergarden.
At night, I enjoy playing well-designed card games (most recently Star Realms and Keyforge), reading feminist sci-fi novels and dream about how someday I will be the lead guitarist of a power metal band.
Thank you for visiting my website.
