About

I’ve spent 20 years in technology and over a decade leading engineering teams at Microsoft, Oracle, and Paylocity. One habit has remained constant: learning. Articles, podcasts, videos, and PDFs became part of daily life—along with separate tools for finding, saving, organizing, and listening. Each solved one piece, but none preserved why something mattered or how it connected to something learned months earlier. That gap became Omphalis. It gives meaningful sources a clear shape, helps with difficult ideas, keeps important moments in context, and reconnects them over time. The goal is not to consume more, but to let what matters become part of what we understand. The name comes from omphalos, the Greek word for center. Omphalis is the center of your understanding.

Coming September 18: more ways to use what you save

That article you wanted to think about properly. The podcast with an idea worth trying. The PDF you re working through. The voice note you recorded before a thought slipped away.

You kept them for a reason. Omphalis helps you pick up where that curiosity started.

With our next launch on September 18, we re bringing more of that experience together:

Omphalis - Everything you read, understood and yours to keep

Articles, PDFs, podcasts, videos and voice notes arrive clean, structured and searchable. Ask questions and check every citation. Select a passage for a real explanation. Write with your sources beside you. Export the whole library as markdown, always.

Some things are worth more than the gist

Most of what any of us read deserves to be skimmed. Entertainment, reference, the thing you needed one number from. Nobody should feel guilty about that, and there is no argument here that every article deserves an hour.

But some things are chosen differently. You save them because they might change a decision, a piece of writing, a lesson you have to teach, or the way you see something. Saving is a quiet declaration that this may matter later.
