Global work.
Powered (mostly) by Europe.

Reliability, integrity, data security and quality of service is important to me wherever in the world I do my work. That's why my tool kit leans heavily on best-in-class services developed (and often hosted exclusively) within the EU and Switzerland.

• Proton (Switzerland) for end-to-end encrypted file storage and sharing
• Hostpoint (Switzerland) for @orvet.se email
• Miro (Netherlands) for ideation and planning
• OnlyOffice (Latvia) for text and numbers documents
• iA Writer and iA Presenter (Switzerland, Japan)
• Mistral (France), LLMs
• Proton VPN (Switzerland) at home-base and when travelling

I also use tools from companies in the US, like:

• Kagi (search)
• Claude (LLMs)
• Signal (messaging)

And Japan:

• Note (writing, publishing in japanese)

This approach works for me, my clients and my collaborators. There is no right or wrong as such, it comes down to preference and what works best for the task at hand.
