About Me

Profile Image

Hello! To put simply, I like romanticising life.

I enjoy learning about systems, deconstructing and understanding every aspect and component of them, to learn from and build better world models. I am a generalist learner; I do not believe people are so weak as to only need to 'specialise' in one thing. Perhaps to be world leading you must, but, is it really that impossible to be great at many things instead? I think not.

I've made full-stack web applications, data science projects and machine learning models (see projects). More importantly, I've made Nudge (open-source app blocker because I hate trillion-dollar companies changing your attention to become a better consumer). Also currently writing *The Pursuit of Ambition*.

Interested in building things that improve human agency, designing systems, space, astronomy, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Also hiking and experiencing experiences.

I am also extremely interested in increasing human agency and the future of the world -- see @astraedus for some projects I've worked on.

Featured Projects

Featured · Autonomous agent

Astraedus

Autonomous agent built on top of determinism principles so I can build things to help people where I otherwise couldn't.

github.com/astraedus

Shipped apps

Two Android apps, both free and both open source, built because I wanted them to exist and wanted everyone to be able to access this.

Nudge — break the scroll, take back your time. A privacy-first Android app blocker.

Nudge

Break the scroll, take back your time.

500+ downloads · Open source · Free forever · Zero internet permission

I built Nudge over a weekend because I hate letting trillion dollar companies have unfettered access to my increasingly-fragmented attention so that I may become a better consumer for their products.

Allows hard locks, time locks and "Just wait 10 seconds" locks for apps. Long enough to break the autopilot loop but short enough so your ego doesn't let you uninstall it. It can also kill Reels, Shorts and the TikTok For You feed without blocking the whole app.

SoulSync mood tracker — a private mood tracker, your data never leaves your phone

SoulSync

A mood tracker that never phones home.

100% on-device · Open source · Free forever

I just really like data. You know, nature is apparently my top activity that results in my mood being higher?

Log mood, activities, notes and photos, and it surfaces honest patterns from your own history: real correlations with p-values and sample sizes, not vibes. Heart rate and HRV can go in the mix too. Everything lives in local SQLite, with JSON export if you ever want to walk away.
