I met @arka__mitra at a hackathon in Zurich last May. A few months later, I ran into @mohanadmkandil at another hackathon in Munich (shoutout to @blwiertz for organizing!)

@uselayo is the first spark we decided not to extinguish. Stay tuned for more.🦆🦆🦆

[kandil @mohanadmkandil]

Couldn’t ask for a better crew! building @uselayo with @saravrutz and Arka has been pure energy and joy
something special coming up!

[Fluid Interfaces @FluidInterfaces]

How can we design systems that build people's capacity to break negative cycles—not just recognize them?

This year at CHI @acm_chi we presented:
"Breaking Negative Cycles: A Reflection-to-Action System for Adaptive Change."
Motivation?

Sometimes “building in public” just means tweeting “we’re live” and then fixing everything that broke right after
