The open web is dying. Let's build a stronger, fairer one that preserves human provenance and empowers AI to lift us up.

Madrid / San Francisco / San Juan

Canadian with roots in San Francisco, now based in Madrid. I work the seams between digital and physical worlds—the places where sovereignty, relationships, accountability, taste, and governance still belong to humans. We're mid-takeoff. The old playbooks are breaking. I build tools that help creators get paid, help people own their data, and help immigrants cut through systems designed before any of this was possible.

Belief Borders matter less than shared values. AI should dismantle legacy injustice, not entrench it.
Reading Iain M. Banks. Building toward the Culture, not away from it.
