I bring hard-won clarity and purpose to the relationship between the human person and the web—empowering people to pursue what is meaningful, true, and good in their work.

Magnum opus¶

Isopos | isopos.veldi.dev

The culmination of a decade of thinking and experimenting. It's a hospitable system for organizing and preserving life's knowledge—built in Clojure because permanence calls for a tool with lower complexity and churn than familiarity does. Most software is built to ship fast and move on. Isopos is built to last and to grow with the person who needs it—a person-centred infrastructure for accumulated, connected understanding. Although it's a personal project, I take it seriously and recently hired a designer for the next iteration.

Other projects¶

Stava - Another long-lived project. It's a CMS for personal websites—designed to be person-centred and built from composable parts.
art.veldi.dev - Computational art pieces exploring what computers can do with constrained randomly generated colours and forms.
Data - A curated list of resources that have genuinely formed and informed my practice.
