Welcome to my corner of the internet
I build technology that respects the people using it.
For seventeen years I worked at the edge of new technology: global manufacturing, warehouse robotics, AI wearables, social. Now I build my own products. Right now that means Fala, an AI voice tutor for European Portuguese, with its first invited learners using it. Alongside it, three more small apps about doing less, but better.
A language tutor, a daily planner, a meditation app, and a skincare coach. Different on the surface, but one stubborn thread runs through all of them. None of them try to manipulate you. No streaks to guilt you, no dark patterns, no fake urgency. Just tools that treat your attention and your inner life as things worth protecting.
A voice tutor for European Portuguese that actually remembers you. Real conversation and gentle correction, tracking how far you’ve come instead of streaks and points.
Pour in everything you’re carrying, and get back the three things that actually matter today. Nothing dropped, nothing piling up.
Meditation that doesn’t gamify you. It sits with you over weeks and gently reflects back what you can’t see in yourself.
Like a brilliant dermatologist on call every morning. It watches your skin over time, learns what works for you and what doesn’t, and adapts to your life, so you have your best skin every day.
