Founder of Rool: Your AI in the cloud

About

I've been coding since I was 11, starting on my ZX Spectrum, which dates me, I guess. I love systems programming: kernels, high-performance computing, embedded systems. Most of my work has been HPC for data analysis, or AI as it's called these days. I also have a strong ideological side. I believe people should control their computers, and that technology must never be used to control people. That conviction led me to found Rool: a full-stack private virtual machine in the cloud, designed for running AI agents. Give it a try!

It remembers last week's work, runs real programs, takes on multi-step tasks, and you can invite your team into the same machine, on web, iPhone and Android.

What we decided early on:
