About Vivlore
Vivlore is built by people who think everyone has a book in them, a family history, a kids' story, a year of travels, and that making one should be simple. Here is who makes it happen.
Most people have a book in them. Almost no one writes it. The idea is the easy part. What stops people is the blank page and the work of laying it all out.
Vivlore is where you turn an idea into a real book: a family story, a kids' book, a year of travels, anything worth keeping. It is free to create and share online, and you can order a beautiful hardback whenever you are ready.
Vivlore is a product of Blockchain Security Ltd (Company No. 13371112), registered in England and Wales.
Nine people across four countries, one shared mission.
Founder & Chief Overthinker
Youngest of seven siblings, married to an Amazonian princess (his words, but also true). Background in blockchain security, but after losing his mother he couldn't stop thinking about how many stories just vanish. So he built Vivlore. Thinks he can cook. He cannot. Nobody has the heart to tell him.
Head of Product & Professional Skeptic
Moved over from a health tech startup in Austin where she shipped three products in two years. She is the person who says "no" to most feature requests and "not yet" to the rest. Runs half marathons. Collects vintage cookbooks she never cooks from.
Lead Systems Architect
Munich born, Zurich educated, and responsible for making sure your data never goes anywhere it shouldn't. Thinks a well designed API is a thing of beauty. His Black Forest cake is better than his classical guitar, which isn't saying much.
Lead Experience Designer
From Lyon. Worked on a palliative care app in Paris before this, so she knows what it means to design for people on the worst day of their lives. Paints watercolours. Will argue about whitespace until everyone else leaves the room.
Head of Infrastructure & Uptime Worrier
Keeps the lights on. Literally. Came from a fintech in Milan where downtime meant actual money disappearing, so he takes infrastructure personally. Rides a Vespa that's older than most of the team. AC Milan season ticket holder since he was nine.
Head of Security & Trust
Copenhagen. Cybersecurity consulting across Scandinavia for a decade before joining us. Takes GDPR personally. Brews his own beer, reads terms and conditions for fun, and once found a vulnerability during a job interview. He got the job.
Platform Reliability Lead
The reason the site is up right now. Ten years in telecom in Stockholm before she decided she wanted to work on something she actually cared about. Once opened champagne because uptime hit 99.99%. Nobody else understood why. Cross-country skier. Cat person.
Head of Brand & Content
Manchester. Journalism degree, spent four years doing content for a hospice charity, which is how he ended up here. Writes the words you read on this site. Plays five-a-side on Thursdays, badly. Makes a proper Sunday roast, which is his main personality trait.
Delivery & Release Lead
Amsterdam. Handles every release, every deploy, every 2am hotfix with the energy of someone who has already accepted his fate. Cycles everywhere because he's Dutch and that's just how it works. Vinyl collector. Always has coffee ready. Never panics.
