Somebody has to imagine the future

I build AI systems that know your context.

Not chatbots. Personal operating systems.

“AI as capability amplifier, not replacement.
Voice is the natural interface for Software 3.0.
Keyboards were designed for 1.0.”
TEDx speaker · Global Shapers alumnus (WEF) · Building since 2001

Equally Developed Nerd

Codes. Dances. Coaches. Writes. Designs interfaces, studies consciousness, practices embodiment. Not one thing — integration.

What is Personal OS?

An AI-managed life infrastructure where agents autonomously handle knowledge, task execution, and decision support — using your data, your memory, your context.

Not another app. The operating system your AI agents run on. Without it, they’re brilliant amnesics. With it, they know who you are and what matters.

Three-Layer Architecture

  • Data & Memory: Notes, bookmarks, search queries, health data, research articles, meeting transcripts — plus persistent memory systems (episodic, semantic, procedural)
  • Agent Runtime: Salience layer for surfacing what matters. Multi-agent orchestration. Extensible through skills (reusable automations) and MCP servers (tool integrations). Agents propose, humans authorize.
  • Interfaces: Voice (hands-free), Telegram (mobile), Terminal (deep work), Scheduled (autonomous). Same intelligence, different entry points.

Your Data, Your System

Personal OS means better data ownership. Local-first architecture. File-based storage, not cloud lock-in. Your health records, conversation history, and knowledge stay on your hardware — accessible to your agents, invisible to platforms.

When you own the infrastructure, AI works for you — not for whoever trained it.

The Philosophy

“80% deterministic scaffolding + 20% AI routing. An older model with solid infrastructure outperforms a frontier model dropped into chaos.”

The paradigm shift: tool-centric to agent-centric. Reactive to proactive. Storage to active memory. Keyboards to omnichannel.

what I build

Speculative Design

imagining the future

I imagine the future and implement it.

I start from a feeling — a grokking of how life might be when technology really matures — and start living as if it’s already there. I look at where it fails, while focusing on where it excels. I live with new capabilities and imagine what will become possible when millions of people also do.

01

The Thinking Room

Imagine you are planning your business. You sit in a quiet room. Details keep coming and you voice them without interruption.

Your agent listens. It doesn’t interrupt. But you can ask it anytime: “What am I missing? Where are my blind spots? What cognitive biases am I falling into?”

When you’re done, it gives you back your thinking — as a presentation, a voice message, a short text, a video. You decide the format.

Output: presentation · voice memo · text · video
02

The Second Opinion

Before you share your idea publicly, you stress-test it. The agent plays devil’s advocate. It finds the weak points you can’t see because you’re too close.

But it also stress-checks your mind. “Is this actually a crisis, or am I catastrophizing?”

It separates signal from noise when anxiety amplifies everything. Not therapy. Just a reality check from something that doesn’t have skin in the game.

The Night Shift

While you sleep, the system works.

22:00 Obsidian vault commits to git. Day captured.
every 15m Chrome history syncs to searchable database.
09:30 Health briefing: sleep duration, HRV, weekly steps.
10:00 Research digest: 10 relevant + 10 serendipitous finds.

Today’s digest: “Measuring AI Ability to Complete Long Tasks” from arXiv, “Claude Code Best Practices” from Medium, “LLMs in Scientific Method” from Nature. Themes extracted from your recent work.

These aren’t concepts. This is the system I use daily.
