About

Welcome to my "home page", on the world-wide-web since ~1994. I have been tinkering with software and the web since those early days, and ended up building a career on it that has served me, my partners, employees & hopefully clients well through PNDLM, our software consultancy.

I've long been interested in people & their motivations; philosophy & ethics; design & aesthetic; communication; music & art, and how the values of these disciplines can be applied to the production of software (or vice versa) to produce far better outcomes.

More recently I've come to realize something of the enormity of the changes, challenges and opportunities that AI will bring to global society. I feel a moral obligation to understand what I can about what is coming, and identify what we can do to improve outcomes for people. I will be writing about these things, and other topics.
