Skin in the game

What I'm building, running and invested in right now

These are the companies I build myself, as founder, CTO or technical partner. They get the same speed and standards as client work.

  1. Aquadome

    Maritime threat monitoring. Ten days before impact.

    Aquadome watches the cables, wind farms, ports and fleets you protect, and the network behind every vessel near them: who owns it, who crews it, who moves it. Threats at sea start on shore, in ownership structures, crewing agencies and logistics partners, weeks before the vessel shows up. When a threat starts to form, you get one assessed warning with advice, in the systems you already use. Every finding links to a source, a date and a named indicator.

    • Warnings up to ten days before impact
    • Follows owners, managers, crewing agencies, financiers and insurers
    • For offshore energy, shipping, ports, banks, insurers and coastguards
    • Made in Europe, under NIS2, GDPR and the EU AI Act

  2. Cryptly

    Share secrets safely

    With Cryptly you send a password, API key or private note through a one-time link, or ask someone to send you one. Your browser encrypts the secret before it leaves your device. The key is part of the link and never reaches the server. The link opens once, then the server deletes the secret. You don't need an account or an email address.

    • Encrypted in the browser, so the server only stores ciphertext
    • Send a secret, or request one
    • One-time links with automatic expiry
    • Available in 5 languages
    Built with
    Next.js
    TypeScript
    Web Crypto
    Drizzle
    libSQL
  3. CyberInstinct

    Predictive early warning for supply-chain cyber risk

    Pilot

    Most organisations protect what they control, not what they depend on. CyberInstinct turns security-aware people across your supply chain into human sensors. They answer short questions in the channel they already use: an app, SMS, WhatsApp or Signal. AI turns those answers into trust scores and early warnings, so you hear about a weak spot before it becomes an incident. It runs next to your existing systems, without integration.

    • Detects risk between organisations, not only inside them
    • Picks up signals that machines miss
    • No integration with existing systems or vendors
    • For national infrastructure and commercial networks

    Next.js

Editors, publishers and content marketers license a single piece or subscribe to a channel.

AI companies license the same catalogue for retrieval, grounding or training under explicit terms.

    • 3.4M verified stories across 850+ verticals
    • 250+ publications from 100+ publishers
    • Pre-cleared for syndication in 22 languages
    • AI licensing under RSL terms or through the Buyers API
