deliberate systems
I have been a citizen of the digital world since ever – hence, homo-numericus since 1986.
In that time, I've seen the world and theinternet shift from a frontier of pure curiosity to a complex web of opaque systems.My work and my lifestyle are a response to that complexity. Whether I am designing for the user experience, architecting a system, or founding a business, I operate under three core convictions:
- Design is an act of empathy before aesthetics, if any. A system is only as good as the agency it gives the user. Good design doesn't just look 'clean'; it respects the user's time, their cognitive load, and their privacy. I bridge the gap between technical infrastructure and human experience because one cannot truly succeed without the other.
- Sovereignty is the foundation of trust. In an era of "black box" technology, knowing where your data lives and how it is handled is a radical act of transparency. I believe in building sovereign and managing our own stacks so we can look our clients and users in the eye and be transparent about our practices.
- The world is my office, but the work is local. My journey as a remote builder across more than 50 countries has taught me that the best solutions are born from diverse perspectives. I understand the "move fast and break things" mantra, but I also believe in moving deliberately and building things that last. I like being at the intersection of these two approaches.
See me as a maker who values the mechanics as much as the vision leading it. I am always open to a conversation about privacy, the future of XD, or a playing with a Raspberry Pi.
