Diary

A human logbook in real time

This is where I share progress, setbacks, research, and the discoveries that shape how I build. It’s less highlight reel, more field log—what’s happening, what’s shifting, and what I’m learning as I go.

Follow the transformation

Markets shift when better options make old models obsolete. By offering essential infrastructure that's free, locally controlled, and designed around human needs, I'm betting I can force change across every domain Control OS enters, productivity tools, AI systems, data management, communications. The hypothesis is simple: if the offering is good enough, extraction based models become both unnecessary and undesirable. As we move deeper into the AI era, we either carry forward systems designed to amplify inequality and exploitation, or we prove different incentives create better outcomes. I'm building the proof. If that resonates, follow along. I share the build, the decisions, the progress, and the setbacks in real time.
