Calm
systems for
restless founders.

I build small, useful things at the intersection of AI, founder freedom and nervous-system research, from a cohousing in the forest near Barcelona.

From building apps to building better ways to work and live.

Years ago, I co-founded MosaLingua, a language-learning EdTech that grew to more than eleven million downloads. We sold it, and I gave myself time to think about what really matters.

What came back was a simple intuition: most of what's hard about running a company isn't strategic, it's nervous. Founders carry a lot, and that load shapes their teams, their products and the kind of world they end up building.

So my work today sits at one intersection: AI leverage that makes life lighter, businesses designed with less chronic stress, and tools that help people regulate their inner state instead of pushing harder.

I run my projects from a cohousing I helped renovate in the forest near Barcelona, with a small home server, a lot of Obsidian, and a slow, intentional pace.

Four threads, one question.

How can technology help founders create more positive impact, with fewer moving parts, more inner stability and a healthier relationship to ambition?

Outside the machine

Better systems, more real life.

The point isn't to optimise every minute. It's to create enough clarity, automation and structure that the important parts of life can breathe: health, nature, relationships, community, and work that actually matters.

A few operating beliefs.

01 ·

Simple systems beat heroic effort. Calm is a competitive advantage.

02 ·

Mental health is not separate from entrepreneurship. It shapes every decision, team and product.

03 ·

Business should support the ecological transition and a saner way of living, not just growth for growth.

04 ·

Build the smallest thing that can run without you, then keep more of life outside the screen.
