👋 Hey

I'm Zowie. I like building, a lot. Generally I operate on two principles:

  • I do work that I feel is play, with A-players that love work the same way.
  • What you do is who you are.

This allows me to sustainably work those 60+ hours everyone talks about :)

So here's what I do right now:

  • Building the EU founder financial cockpit - business accounts, runway analysis. Everything for founders to focus on their actual business, pan EU. Think Mercury and SVB, but EU. We have to get our sh*t together to stay competitive.
  • Built a passion project: an ultimate self-directed learning product -> Integrate
  • I write small angel checks and host a deal group - it's lightweight, founders for founders.
  • Organizing a global community of founders, operators and science people with catalyst.place. We host epic retreats with epic people.
  • Reading (let's connect if we read similarly!)
  • Still thinking about restarting The Systematic Mastery podcast every now and then.
  • Calisthenics
  • Driving bikes (Moto Guzzi lover here) in beautiful areas around the world, if I find time :)

Stuff I think about

I'm interested in public interest technology, and fascinated by the idea of flourishing/Eudaimonia with the aid of technology and a hint of futurism. And how to build cool stuff.

I've been doing the CTO/founder thing for over a decade now so I've touched a lot of stuff; all kinds of programming languages, DevOps tools, frontend, apps, you name it. Jack of all trades, master of none. But with genAI that matters less. I think it's easier than ever to become a master of everything if you were previously a jack of all trades.

Find me:

You can mostly find me trying to build ideas, my body and mind, infrastructure or software. Maybe some more physical things soon. Or just something I broke by accident ;)
