Founder & Director — The Lumen Framework
Ethics-first technology studio
I’m a systems-minded developer and technologist building calm, trustworthy tools for people — especially in spaces where technology is often noisy, invasive, or poorly designed.
I founded The Lumen Framework, an ethics-first technology studio focused on thoughtful software, humane automation, and systems that respect privacy, agency, and mental wellbeing.
My work blends engineering, design, and long-term thinking — less about disruption, more about quiet reliability.
Light where it’s needed most.
The Lumen Framework (TLF) is a small, values-led technology studio.
We build tools that are:
- 🧭 Ethics-first — people over profit, always
- 🌗 Calm by design — no dark patterns, no manipulation
- 🔐 Privacy-respecting — local-first where possible
- 🛠️ Built to last — maintainable, understandable systems
Some projects are public. Some are internal. All are designed with care.
- TLF Core — shared architecture, values, and design systems
- Home & Personal Automation — local-first smart systems
- Media & Knowledge Tools — self-hosted, user-controlled platforms
- Research & Prototyping — AI, human-centred interfaces, calm UX
(Names and implementations evolve — the philosophy doesn’t.)
