Sci-Fi is reality — minimalist design for every surface, mobile, desktop, and augmented reality.
View workField notes from Sci-Fi Labs — how spatial apps for web, mobile, and XR take shape.

They can pull the plug
Anthropic cut OpenClaw off Claude subscriptions. Overnight, agents that ran people’s work stopped. That is what a stack you do not own costs.

Too dangerous for you
Government can kill a frontier model for the public overnight. Trusted orgs keep the keys. Citizens wait outside the vault.

Utility vs Personal AI
OpenClaw proved agents could do things on your computer. It also tried to be a companion. The same agent can rarely be both.

Who has your data?
Your data is already tracked, sold, and resold by a dozen companies you cannot easily leave. OpenClaw is just the next door.

Who owns the answer?
We used to Google something and read a page of results. Now we ask a model and get one answer — owned by someone.

Reclaim your data
Data is currency. Platforms and brokers already know it. A local knowledge graph is how you keep the value.

Now I design and build the full stack myself — web, mobile, and XR — using AI as a collaborator. Across a range of projects, the goal is the same: turn science-fiction ideas into real products, and push web technologies past their usual limits.
Underneath it all is a longer bet. Sovereignty. Memory you own. Models you run. Tools that answer to you — not rented, not watched, public only when you choose.
Before going independent, I was a Principal Engineer at OutSystems — design systems, shared UI, the patterns teams reuse so enterprise software doesn't reinvent itself on every project. That work crossed into Stencil.js, the open-source compiler from the Ionic team that turns TypeScript and JSX into real web components. I partnered with Apple to implement features they requested for their internal design system, built on Stencil, and contributed to the project directly.
Before that, more than a decade at Paylocity on Core Mobile — the app employees open to clock in, request time off, and check a paycheck. Paylocity serves roughly 44,000 companies and more than six million people on the platform. We rebuilt it more than once, through Ionic and Xamarin, so other teams could ship without fighting the stack.
