POLYmath + MONOtropic

Someone who goes impossibly deep into many domains—but one at a time. The attention tunnels intensely, but the tunnel moves.

"I operate at a different frequency. Most can't fully understand me, but you might."

What this is

Cognitive prosthetics built for personal survival. Not a startup pitch—I built an external brain because context switching was destroying me.

"When I'm hyperfocused, everything else in the world is dead to me. But as I enter a new hyperfocus, the previous ones become dead—no matter how valuable." These tools solve that.

The Projects

All four are translation layers. All four were built for personal survival. All four are now open.

The Thread

"When I speak to AI, I can communicate at speed of thought. When I translate for humans, it becomes incredibly hard. I need a theory of mind translator— from human to me, and from me to human."

Every project is a translation layer. All built for the same reason: I see patterns others miss, but I can't explain what I see. The full story →

The Backstory

UCT Cape Town finance degree. A decade learning Torah. A decade in optics—built Israel's 4th freeform lens lab, raised $3M seed. Then COVID hit. 80% of Israeli optical stores are in malls. When those closed, it all disappeared.

Diagnosed ADHD, autism, dyslexia. The cognitive makeup that lets me master domains overnight also makes me invisible—I can't do small talk, can't network, can't ask for help.

Mid-2024 breakthrough: "I was finally able to completely complete a project within a single hyperfocus session. This was a game changer." AI became the translator between my mind and the world.
