Integrating Digital Solutions.

I am Rost Likholat, Creative Developer based in Frankfurt am Main.

Rooted in the realms of web & embedded interaction my projects are aimed towards a user-centered, postdigital experience.

I advocate for Libre Software, Open Data, Distributed Systems and Fully Automated Luxury Queer Space Liberalism.
