I build software that can't misuse your data — not software that promises it won't. I write about the difference.

I build software that can't misuse your data, rather than software that promises it won't.

I am one of two founders at Dooplin, a bootstrapped software company registered in Barcelona. My half of it is product and engineering: designs, plans, and builds the products — the architecture, the code, and the decisions about what each tool is allowed to do with your data.

Privacy and security are architecture, not policy. A promise lasts until the incentives change; a system that never had your browsing history cannot be persuaded, subpoenaed, or breached into handing it over. So the interesting decisions are rarely about frameworks — they are about what a system is allowed to remember, and almost every failure I have studied began with an organisation holding something it had no reason to hold.

The rest of the time I write: about how things get designed, how they get built, and how they get broken into. Mostly the third, because that is where the first two finally show their working.

What I am building

Cognoir

In service

A research library that cites its sources

Tenant documents are never used to train models — ours or anyone's. Delete is delete: removal from storage and the search index, not a flag in a row.

Sitr Shield

In service

A content filter that cannot watch you

Filtering runs on your device. Your browsing history never reaches us. Reproducible builds, verifiable against published checksums, and an intentionally empty data-flow table.

Archivist

In service

Web archiving for people who cannot run it

Your archive is yours. Captures, metadata and identifiers export in open formats on request or on exit. A takedown removes the record, its captures and its search entries, and propagates.

Non-profit

The primary record of Bangladesh's July 2024 revolution

Eight Login Walls

I pointed a crawler at eight Facebook posts from the July uprising and got back eight identical login walls with no text in them. Most of what I now believe about building systems that keep things came out of that afternoon.

Everything I have published

ΕΡΓΩι ΟΥ ΛΟΓΩι

By deed, not by word. Every promise behind these products carries a date on the company's standards page, every change is logged in corrections and notices, and none of it is deleted.
