The Rooms
Beyond the Entrance Hall, the Studio is arranged as rooms of attention. The drawing shows those rooms — not a workshop floor.

Orientation
Complex organisations increasingly depend on AI, cloud platforms, data systems, and vendors they cannot fully inspect, operate, or replace.
I help leaders understand where control has been lost, make defensible technology decisions, and build systems that remain operable under real regulatory, organisational, and technical pressure.
A system needs attention
For questions involving AI architecture, operational ownership, digital sovereignty, cloud dependency, infrastructure resilience, or technology decisions that must withstand scrutiny.
I want to understand the work
Field Notes and longer investigations into AI, sovereignty, infrastructure, preparedness, systems, and trust.
I want to understand the person
The experience, working principles, public contributions, and path behind the Studio.
Work grounded in practice
- More than two decades across systems, infrastructure, architecture, and delivery.
- Founder and former CEO of a Swiss applied-AI venture.
- Work spanning sovereign AI, financial technology, resilient infrastructure, and systems that must hold under auditors, regulators, and real operations.
- Author of Panopticon 2.0 and contributor to the CFA Institute Research & Policy Center.
Voices from the WorkshopA rare combination of deep technical expertise, reliability, and entrepreneurial thinking. Under pressure he stayed calm, focused, and fully committed to delivering results.
On the lectern
Three volumes from the Library — for those who continue deeper into the Studio.
Human Sovereignty in the Age of Machine Intelligence
The singularity may not have arrived. The sovereignty question already has.
Open this volumeSovereignty Is Lost One Optimisation at a Time
Path dependency, lock-in, and why locally rational choices quietly outsource national and organisational autonomy.
Open this volumeBitcoin Between Cash and Collateral
The technology didn't fail. We changed what success meant.
