Iris Zimmerfrau — Independent Builder San Francisco, CA

Background

Independent builder, building across tracks

Timeline of companies, software, research, education, and professional roles — from a public Discord bot in 2020 to two companies founded, two PyPI libraries, two books, three academic papers, and ongoing work in San Francisco.

I work in three parallel tracks. Companies: Iris Zimmerfrau Inc. (AI consultancy) and LocalWebIQ LLC (Iraqi SMB web design). Open-source software: novum-qvm on PyPI, QuantumLab across web/Android/iOS, PrivacyIQ, the انهف Arabic neopronoun reference, and the Iraqi LGBTQ+ Resource Hub. Research and writing: two books, three academic papers, three poems, and articles on quantum AGI and cryptography. The throughline is that every track produces something public. I speak six languages.
