42 Years. One Exit. 25 Years of Pure Innovation.
Solo founder. AI-assisted development. Clinical validation in progress.
Design By Zen (DBZ) experience spans 43 years, including MPM, PC, FOREX systems, VR simulation, seismic defence, and AI governance.
Left CBF (Sydney) to then found Advantage Financial, London, UK. An exit in 1999 enabled financial independence and 25+ years of research-driven innovation, free from commercial pressure.
Post-exit work includes VisionRacer simulation technology (2007-2014, serving Red Bull Racing, NVIDIA, BP, and 1,200+ clients), earthquake-ready furniture systems following the Christchurch seismic events (2010-2014), and research on the Neural unified networked Operating System (NunOS) beginning in 2012.
The 2010-2011 Christchurch earthquakes catalysed breakthrough mathematical innovations—including the Comfort Index constant—now foundational to the Omega* Clinical Intelligence Ecosystem. Financial independence enables long-term focus on governed AI systems without pressure for premature commercialisation or venture capital dependency.
