# About Thomas Marchand

> Thomas Marchand (th0rgal) is an independent open-source developer and writer based in Lisbon, Portugal.

I publish essays on technology, investing, and culture. I also take photographs, and I build software.

## This site

Essays live under [/posts](https://thomas.md/posts), photographs under [/art](https://thomas.md/art), and a personal quest board under [/quests](https://thomas.md/quests). There is a newsletter at [/email](https://thomas.md/email). If you bought one of my projects, license claims and Discord roles are handled here too.

## Other projects

Oraxen is a Minecraft plugin for custom items, blocks, furniture, and models. I started it in 2019. HackedServer helps server operators detect modified clients; I have maintained it since 2017. Both are still active. Licenses are claimed on this site after purchase.
