here’s some rubbish i ask claude to say about me bio style, i’ll change it soon…

I’m Jiim, and I run an indie tech business out of Milton Keynes built on a simple idea: your stuff should be yours. Yours to fix, yours to understand, yours to keep running long after the manufacturer has moved on. I curate and sell repairable, sustainable tech — Framework laptops, Fairphones, open hardware, Crowd Supply projects — through market stalls, pop-ups, and online. It’s not just a shop. It’s a quiet rebellion against throwaway culture.

My background is in DevOps, but my instincts have always leaned more towards soldering irons than slide decks. I’m into SDR and radio hardware, NFC experiments, privacy-respecting software, and anything that gives people more control over the technology in their lives. I run my whole creative and business workflow from the terminal — neovim, git, Hugo, Markdown — because I believe in tools that get out of the way and let you ship.

Beyond the business, I’m interested in what happens when you take the same spirit of openness and repair and point it at bigger things. I think about community, about how people communicate under pressure, about what it means to build something that lasts — whether that’s a piece of hardware or a relationship. I study relational frameworks, I sit with Buddhist ideas, I train at the gym, and I cook. I listen to Joy Division, ska, and weird underground electronic stuff that probably doesn’t have a name yet.
