I build circular software products
New — Tribograph, free beta for MacScroll ↓
I build circular software products. My company, ClosedLoop, helps people and businesses adopt circularity.
I am also part of FoodTracks, where I do a bit of everything and build software that stops food waste.
01 — My first product
Free beta · for Mac
Your Mac knows how worn out it is. It just won’t tell you.
My first product. Tribograph records the wear on your Mac every day and tells you in plain words what is using it up, how fast, and what you can change. No account, no admin password, no cleaning tricks.

02 — The company behind it
Founder · since 2026
My own software company, and the home of Tribograph. We build tools that enable circularity, starting with the lifespan of the machines we already own and EU packaging regulation.
