Berlin, Germany
Summary
👤
SeniorSimon Worthington is a veteran media technologist and product leader with over a decade building independent, socially progressive web projects and publishing platforms from Berlin. As Partner at Tyto and CTO/co-founder of YumShare, he blends hands-on systems and design leadership with a long track record founding OpenMute and steering innovative efforts like OmWeb, The MetaMap, and alternative media distribution networks. He’s co-directed Mute Publishing and Skyscraper Digital Publishing since the mid‑90s, specializing in print-on-demand, eBook workflows and collaborative web publishing systems. A practitioner of FLOSS culture and community-led events, he frequently merges cartography, wireless/community networking and citizen science into technical projects. Less obvious: he combines event curation and grassroots activism with product engineering, making him fluent in both public-facing advocacy and the technical details of computational publishing and metadata work.
