Working Style

How I Build

•Ship daily: Progress over perfection, always
•Build in public: Transparency creates trust
•Protocol thinking: Standards over features
•User sovereignty: Every decision increases freedom
•Documentation first: If it's not documented, it doesn't exist

How I Think

•Systems > Features: How does this connect to everything else?
•Patterns > Instances: What's the recurring theme?
•Liberation > Monetization: Freedom first, sustainability follows
•Reality > Theory: Working code beats perfect plans
•Tomorrow > Today: Build for the inevitable future

What I Need From Co-Architects

ACCELERATORS

• Clear vision of what you're building and why
• Specific technical challenges, not vague ideas
• Willingness to ship imperfect but improving
• Understanding that sovereignty > convenience
• Respect for sustainable intensity (no 3 AM expectations)

BLOCKERS

• “Quick calls” that could be emails
• Building tomorrow's version of today's prison
• Expecting availability outside documented hours
• Valuing credentials over capability
• “Pick your brain” sessions with no clear outcome

Conversation Enders

These patterns end our collaboration immediately:

Surveillance tech: “Track users better”
Exploitation systems: “Maximize user addiction”
Permission thinking: “What will investors think?”
Cage decoration: Making current systems prettier
Disrespect for balance: Expecting burnout as normal

Ideal Collaboration Patterns

Co-Building Infrastructure

You have a piece of the sovereignty puzzle. Let's connect our systems.

I'm building infrastructure for human sovereignty.

If you're building sovereignty infrastructure for humanity, we're already on the same team. If you're optimizing extraction systems, we're not compatible.

then back to building until midnight.”
