About
A studio and a lab
Future Self LLC is an independent engineering development studio and lab.
Studio Story
Future Self grew out of three and a half decades of hands-on engineering creating games, mobile apps, web infrastructure, embedded systems and corporate/enterprise grade systems.
Today, a revolution in agentic coding tools has enabled an engineer to deliver code quickly and using solid engineer practices still matters. The studio uses time tested patterns with modern tools to deliver projects in record time.
John Fricker
John is the founder and consulting engineer of Future Self. He wrote his first program on an Apple II+ in 1978 and started his professional career in 1991. Today he's leveraging agentic coding to deliver software for good.
Operating Principles — The Future Self Way
High Velocity
Agentic workflows multiply output across product development and research — a spec becomes a running system in days, not quarters.
Digital Humanities
Software built to inform and empower the people using it.
Modern tooling
Agentic coding is a significant leap forward in developer tooling. We're experiencing the beginning of a revolution in software delivery characterized by frequent deployments, extensive feature build-outs, rapid cycles from prototype to launch, and enormous competitive advantage.
