About

I am a product designer and technology consultant. I have spent twenty years making things people can use: print, then websites, then products, now an enterprise data platform at Highstep Technologies, where I lead design and strategy.

I founded LastDoor in 2006 and have co-founded a few other companies since. I built an app most of Nepal once used to plan around power cuts, and I have taught human-computer interaction at university.

Lately I care about two things. How a person and several AI agents can work as one team without losing the plot; the rules I use for that are public. And mental health in Nepal, where I am training as a psychosocial counselor; Mano comes from that.

The full record, roles, education, certifications, is on the CV page.

Working with me

Not taking new consulting work right now.

If you want to talk about AI automation or technology consulting for later, write and say what you are trying to change. I read everything, and I will tell you honestly whether and when I can help.
