Built by someone who's kept systems running.
I'm Kaleb Hogeland, a Navy veteran with a background spanning software systems engineering at Space and Naval Warfare, business ownership, and field sales. Now I'm building a private AI that's careful in the way those jobs taught me to be: it's designed to save a copy before every change and to keep its controls out of the AI's reach.

1997 to 2001
U.S. Navy
I was a systems administrator supporting more than 3,000 sailors. At sea there's no help desk to call, so things had to keep working.

2001 to 2010
Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR)
I was a software systems engineer on more than 50 programs across more than 350 Navy vessels. Every change was documented and controlled.

2010 to today
Business, sales, and now SophosAI
I've led teams, run businesses and worked in field sales, which taught me what people will actually pay for. Now I'm building SophosAI.
Why it's built this way
I care more about what actually works than about hype. An AI that can change your things should make it easy to change them back, so that's how I'm designing this one: your AI works in its own space, a copy is saved before it changes anything, and undo is a button you press, not something the AI decides.
Those rules are still being built, and I'll say plainly when each one is in place.
