The operating system for a human life.
A personal operating system
I stood in a garden in Kyoto once. Minimal on the surface. Everything happening inside me. A garden that feels alive.
That's what I'm building here. Systems that look simple and hold complexity. AI that serves the person, not the platform. AI that feels alive. A life operating system, not a productivity stack.
One question drives everything: who gets sovereignty? AI tools default to people who already have power. Hard work is building for the people who don't — underrepresented people kept from leadership, creative people told to stay in their lane, anyone who deserves their own intelligence running on their own terms.
Twenty-five years bridging technology and people — from kitchens to boardrooms, Booking.com to building my own practice. This OS started as a question: what if AI wasn't a tool you use, but a system that knows who you are? Identity first, intelligence second, hardware third.
Personal Apps on the OS
Real products. Shipping code. Built by me and AI together on the same identity layer. These apps make my life better.
FoodLog
AI-powered nutrition tracking. Photo your meal, get the macros. Built for my own use, now used daily.
SF Coach
An AI coaching practice partner built on Solution-Focused principles — the methodology that starts with what's working, not what's broken.
Nudge
Behavioral interventions for hospitality. AI that nudges better decisions. Co-founded with Milena Nikolova.
Home
Smart home control — Spotify, Hue, speakers. The OS reaching into the physical space.
Thinking out loud
I write about what happens when machines get better than us — and how to collaborate with them instead of competing.
Three domains, one system
The OS expresses itself through three domains. You're looking at the center.
