Strategy for the Algorithm

Social Engineering Communications & Design Solutions

IRRATIONAL TECHNOLOGY operates at the intersection of political strategy, media analysis, and platform mechanics. Drawing on expertise in interaction design, platform intelligence, and sociotechnical systems' analysis, I provide the perspective needed to know how interface patterns, recommendation algorithms, and persuasive design shape discourse.

IRRATIONAL TECHNOLOGY operates at the intersection of political strategy, media analysis, and platform mechanics. Drawing on expertise in interaction design, platform intelligence, and sociotechnical systems' analysis, I provide the perspective needed to know how interface patterns, recommendation algorithms, and persuasive design shape discourse.

As Seen On

For the past two years, IRRATIONAL TECHNOLOGY has operated as a public-facing research initiative, exploring the hidden logics of the digital world through a popular TikTok channel (9,600+ followers, 106K likes) and in-depth essays on Substack.

This work has helped thousands understand the systems that shape their lives. Now, I am bringing this critical lens and research methodology to communications, helping organisations navigate the algorithmic age with the deep, systems-level insights I'm known for.
