Projects

Things I'm building. Each is an attempt to solve a problem I think matters, using the principles I write about.

THE PROBLEM

Centralised internet infrastructure creates single points of failure, censorship vectors, and rent extraction at every layer of the stack.

THE SOLUTION

A peer-to-peer network layer that routes around centralised bottlenecks, enabling resilient, low-cost connectivity for applications that need it.

THESIS

“Connectivity should be a primitive, not a product. The protocol layer should be as neutral as TCP/IP — and as invisible.”

KEY LEARNINGS

→Decentralisation without abstraction creates adoption barriers that kill even technically superior products

→The real moat in infrastructure is ecosystem: tooling, documentation, developer trust

→Incentive design is product design when you're building a decentralised system

THE PROBLEM

Personal finance tools either overwhelm users with complexity or oversimplify to the point of being useless. Most people have no clear picture of their financial position.

THE SOLUTION

An intelligent financial clarity layer that aggregates, interprets, and surfaces what matters — without requiring users to become analysts.

THESIS

“Financial clarity shouldn't require a finance degree. The best personal finance tool is the one that thinks so its users don't have to.”

KEY LEARNINGS

→Simplicity is not the absence of complexity — it's the intelligent abstraction of it

→Trust is the primary moat in fintech; features come second

→The activation problem in consumer fintech is always about the first 'aha' moment — getting there fast matters most
