Working on

Submitted my first two PRs to Hermes Agent. Building a PoC for an agentic AI fundraiser website ... watch this space. Building the automation behind our next product ... also watch this space. Day job: CTO and co-founder at LibertiTec, building privacy infrastructure for organisations with a duty of care to the people whose data they collect.

Reading

Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams — insider account of Facebook that Meta tried hard to bury, which is reason enough. Manufacturing Consent by Herman and Chomsky — the classic analysis of how power shapes the news. Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee — finally. Bleak and beautifully spare.

Listening to

Evolver by Chris Liebing. Mezzanine by Massive Attack. Beatport Top 100 — Today. Sprinting Gazelle: Palestinian Songs from the Motherland and the Diaspora by Reem Kelani — the British-Palestinian singer and researcher's 2006 debut, traditional songs and settings of poetry, and a thoughtful way into the repertoire.

Where

Liverpool — back from a sunny winter in Umhlanga Rocks. Planning a Lisbon trip early Autumn for a consulting gig. And ... maybe Cape Town for BSides early December.

On my mind

Investigating DHH's latest wonder — Omarchy. Finally getting to use my DGX Spark with Deepseek 4 Flash and Qwen-3.8-27B. Much to my immense shame becoming a bit of a fan of SuperGrok — don't judge me!
