The future of the operating system

At the core of this research, I am creating a demo operating system of the future. I regularly publish Lab Notes that document my progress, experiments, and concepts.

Reimagining email
My career began with reimagining email and finding ways to build that vision on top of today’s existing email protocols.
Following a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign in 2012, this work resulted in award-winning products that topped the charts and were frequently featured by Apple in the App Store.
