Why I'm Building RealYou

For the past 15+ years, I’ve built, tested, and debugged everything from banking systems to cloud-native platforms.
I’ve worked in high-stakes environments where reliability isn’t optional — it’s the baseline.

But lately, something deeper has been bothering me.

It’s not flaky tests or broken pipelines.
It’s the fact that we’re heading into a future where we can’t tell what’s human anymore — and no one seems ready for that.

🧠 What triggered this

It started small. A fake profile here. A deepfake there. AI-generated blog posts. AI-generated people.

Suddenly, the internet felt… empty.
Content was increasing, but meaning was decreasing.
Authenticity was being replaced by automation.

And it hit me:

If we don’t solve proof of humanity, everything else we build is at risk —
our communities, our conversations, even our sense of self.

🔍 Why I care

This isn’t just a technical problem.
It’s personal.

I’m a father. A son. A volunteer. A human.
I believe technology should serve people — not replace them, impersonate them, or manipulate them.

And I realized:
I can’t keep waiting for someone else to build what I believe is missing.

🚧 So I started building RealYou

RealYou isn’t just a product. It’s a principle: That your digital presence should belong to you — and you alone.

I’m not here to sell your identity.
I’m here to protect your dignity.

Without KYC. Without surveillance. Without crypto hype.
Just a simple, secure, human-first protocol — built with care.

I won’t share every detail yet. It’s early.
But what I can say is: I’m designing it the same way I’ve tested the most critical systems in my career —
with edge cases, trust boundaries, and real-world abuse in mind.

🌱 My personal leap

I’m building RealYou not as a side project — but as a purpose-driven mission.

I want to contribute something that actually matters.
Something that helps people feel safe, seen, and sovereign in a digital world that often erases those things.

I don’t want to just build software.
I want to help rebuild trust online.

That’s why I’m building RealYou.
