Signals Social
A private social network for professionals. Post signals about your availability, exchange end-to-end encrypted DMs, claim a handle, and build a presence — without ads, algorithms, or data sales.
A feed that's yours
Just closed a Staff Eng loop at Stripe. Ask me anything about their system design round.
Anyone interviewing at Anthropic right now? Have a referral from a teammate.
Open to PM roles in climate tech. 5 years at Linear, shipping every week.

Left my Staff role at Datadog. Taking 3 months off before looking. Here's what I learned about scaling observability teams.
No algorithmic ranking. Tag-filtered, chronological, yours.
Encrypted before it leaves
Encrypted on your device. R1 stores ciphertext. Only the recipient's device can read it.

E2EE applies to message content. Metadata — who, when — is not message content. Every key change is logged and client-verifiable.
Seven things we never do
No ad targeting
We don't sell access to your audience. No sponsored posts in your feed, no advertiser dashboards with your demographics.
No engagement scoring
No 'creator mode,' no reach throttling, no engagement-weighted ranking. Every signal reaches your network equally.
No algorithmic feed
Chronological, tag-filtered, yours. You control what you see by who you follow and what tags you watch — not an algorithm.
No public follower counts
No performative clout chasing. Your network is yours. Nobody sees how many people follow you.
No data resale
No API access sold to scrapers, recruiters, or data brokers. Your profile and signals are not a product.
No AI training on your posts
Your signals are not corpus for language models. Your words stay yours — not training data for someone else's product.
No tracking pixels
We don't follow you around the web. No retargeting, no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting.
Encrypted.
R1 Signals is private by design — encrypted, device-bound, and yours.No ads. No algorithms. No tracking.
