- Developer since 1999 (PHP, ActionScript, Objective-C; now Ruby on Rails and JavaScript)
- Expert in educational innovation methodologies including flipped classroom, project-based learning, and competency-based approaches
Levy's research sits at the intersection of ethics, code, and aesthetics, focusing on creating sustainable and ethical digital alternatives. His work emphasizes digital commons, low-tech solutions, and post-growth technological paradigms that prioritize social and environmental sustainability over endless growth. He critically examines technologies like blockchain, proposing context-appropriate alternatives that reduce environmental impact while maintaining functionality.
His recent publications demonstrate a consistent thematic focus on ethical technology development, with particular attention to organizational ethics, digital commons, and sustainable alternatives to current technological paradigms. The trend in his work shows increasing emphasis on practical applications of ethical frameworks in digital infrastructure.

- "Digital commons and the public interest" (2024)
- "The Commons in service of a more ethical and sustainable digital world" (2023)
As an educator and practitioner, Levy bridges theoretical ethics with practical technology development. His work with the noesya cooperative focuses on implementing digital commons models that serve public interest, with an emphasis on sustainability and accessibility. The cooperative represents a practical application of his research into ethical digital infrastructure, demonstrating how academic insights can translate into real-world solutions.
