GOOD LUCK FINDING ME
A map of a
life in progress.
Places I’ve been. Things I’m building. What I’m keeping track of along the way.
LIFE / PERSONAL SYSTEMS
A few things I pay attention to.
Where I go, how I manage money, what I remember, and how I take care of myself. I’ve built private tools for some of these; the rest are still taking shape.
TWIGA DUNIA
175 down.
12 to wander.
Travel is the longest-running thread in the map. This is the overview; Twiga Dunia is becoming the deeper record of trips, photographs, and stories.

The 175-country total is current; individual country statuses are provisional until the original travel log is reconciled.
Things I’ve made because I wanted them to exist.
Standalone software, experiments, and useful detours. Some are finished. Most are still teaching me something.
Curiosity is still the operating system.
I’m Jon. I’ve visited 175 countries, spent more than twenty years building technology, and still take things apart to see how they work.
My work has moved through cloud, media, blockchain, and AI. The through-line is less the technology than the impulse to make complicated things useful.
My third, unreciprocated passion is cats.
Twenty years at the intersection of ideas and execution.
Strategy, architecture, and hands-on building for organizations navigating the next technical shift.
