Personal growth technology
Capturing mindsets as digital assets for growth‑oriented psychological tools.
Project stage
Behind the project
I’m a biomedical electronic engineer with a passion for the science of enduring psychological change.
I want to build a future where people are better supported to grow into the most fulfilled versions of themselves, with greater agency.
This project focuses on building tools that help people uncover and take creative ownership of the mental models that shape their lives.

The philosophy
Your mindset is a unique system of beliefs and reasoning dynamics.
Understanding how it shapes your experiences gives you greater agency to change what holds you back and strengthen what helps you grow.
The approach
Building tools that:
your mindset as a living digital model through AI‑guided reflection and computational modelling
how your mindset may contribute to patterns in your life and relationships
which shifts could drive the most meaningful change
your model into personalised applications
Applications
Mindset models become digital plugins for applications in:
Chart personalised development journeys towards high-impact mindset shifts.
Personalise learning by understanding how a learner’s mindset shapes their development and motivation.
See how individual mindsets interact to shape team dynamics.
Enhance matching algorithms with mindset‑interaction insights.
Disciplines
The project sits at the intersection of several disciplines. I’m interested in connecting with experts across academia and industry who might have relevant insights to share.
Provides the scientific grounding for how mental models influence perception, emotion, thought and action, and how enduring psychological change occurs.
Formalises psychological processes in computational models that can be analysed, used to generate testable predictions, and evaluated against observed data.
Conceptualises how interacting parts of a mindset may produce stable patterns, feedback loops and change over time.
Enables guided reflection, extraction of relevant information, and the continual building and updating of personalised mindset models.
Allows mindset models to be instantiated as agents to simulate how they may respond to situations or interact with other mindsets.
