I build and document AI systems with tight scope, honest limits and a way back when something fails. Cybersecurity, bitcoin, open source and digital sovereignty are part of the same job: keeping people in control.
Start with Running on AI →Who's behind this
More than 25 years in technology, across software, cybersecurity and bitcoin. Programmer, then consultant to multinational banks, then a senior role inside one of Australia's largest cybersecurity firms, now independent. The last few years: AI operations, bitcoin infrastructure, and the unglamorous discipline of building systems that one person can actually run.
I have ADHD, diagnosed as an adult, after decades of being sure the right system would finally fix my brain. None of it stuck. What changed things wasn't another app; it was learning to use AI as a prosthetic for the executive function my brain doesn't reliably produce. I started CyberFreedom to share what works.
Everything here, I use myself. The workflows in the manual are the ones I actually run, not theory. I build on free and open-source software wherever it's the honest best choice, and I'd rather own my stack than rent it.
If that's useful to you, the manual below is where to start. If you want help applying any of it to your own situation, consulting is further down the page.
What I'm testing
CyberFreedom is testing whether two small, bounded jobs are useful enough for people to pay for.
Independent agent evidence: for a client-facing AI agent approaching launch, test realistic permissions, actions, side effects, failures and recovery, then leave evidence the team can inspect and rerun. The customer still makes the launch decision.
One private AI workflow: for a professional or small team with work that should not enter a general cloud AI tool, implement one useful workflow on customer-controlled hardware, data, accounts and keys, then leave a clear handover and recovery path.
These are research directions, not claims of proven demand, certification, comprehensive audit, penetration testing, legal or compliance advice, or guaranteed outcomes.
Out now
Stop fighting your brain. Use AI to do the six things your ADHD brain can't do on its own.
Pay what you want, from $9 USD (suggested $18)
AI is not a productivity tool. It's a prosthetic for executive function, the same way glasses aren't a "vision tool." This manual takes six specific ways an ADHD brain fails (can't start, can't choose, can't stop, can't remember, wrong task for the moment, can't bear to ship) and maps each to an AI workflow that routes around it. Full prompts. Real examples. No medical claims, no coaching.
What you get
For people with ADHD who already use AI casually but want it to actually carry the load. Written using the exact workflows it describes. That's the proof it works.
Out now · fillable
Stop reading about it and actually do it. The fillable companion that ends with your own one-page operating manual on the wall.
$18 USD on card, or pay in Bitcoin for 12% off
You read the manual (or you didn't, that's allowed). Either way, understanding it changes nothing, doing it changes everything, and doing it is the exact thing our brains make hard. This is the doing part, and it has a finish line. Fill in the blanks one small exercise at a time, run the final prompt, and the AI hands you back a single wall page in your own words: how you run on a good day and exactly what to do when you can't start, can't decide, can't stop, can't ship.
What you get
Folds straight into your copy of the manual if you've got one. Built for the brain you've actually got: short pages, nothing cramped.
Free · no signup
Every prompt I actually run to get unstuck. Copy-paste, no email, use them in the browser right now.
Prompts for the exact moments an ADHD brain stalls: can't start, can't decide, can't stop, lost the thread, can't ship. Sixteen of them, organised by the moment you need them. Take what works.
Free guide · out now
The everyday guide to not getting scammed or hacked. Plain English, nothing to buy.
Australians lost $2.18 billion to scams last year. This is the guide I give my own family: how to spot the scams landing right now, lock down your accounts in an hour, and exactly what to do if something has already gone wrong. Written so the people you love can actually follow it.
