I’m Ruben.

Monk of detail, builder of systems. I live in the twilight where the future takes form. I’ve built companies, invented technology, unlocked capital, sparked exits, and created culture from zero. The work won awards and earned me an EB-1A for extraordinary ability.

Now building mā from first principles across artificial intelligence, human experience, and hardware. Computing as a higher-order extension of your mind that holds the full complexity of your life.

Zen (禅) shaped my mind.
Ma (間) shaped my life.

Amsterdam → San Francisco → Mill Valley.

The most profound beauty lies not in what we can see, but in what we can sense in the spaces between what we can see.
