About Me
I’m Ben Atkinson (Zero‑One), a builder and systems thinker focused on creating calm, reliable, human-first technology. I’m developing The Lumen Framework, an ethics-led umbrella for privacy-respecting software, secure systems, and thoughtful automation.
My Ethics
- People over profit — technology should improve real lives, not exploit them.
- Privacy by default — minimal data collection, transparent intent.
- Resilient systems — dependable, secure, and designed to fail safely.
- Truth and accountability — honest communication and responsibility for impact.
- Access and dignity — tools built for humans, not just power users.
- Long-term thinking — refine over reinvent, reinvest into research and good.
The Lumen Framework
The Lumen Framework is an ethics-first technology studio building calm, trustworthy tools — light where it’s needed most.
It's a long-term mission to build privacy-respecting, resilient systems that support people rather than extract from them. Focused on clarity, security, and human-centred design — tech that feels steady, not noisy.
