About

Welcome to my "home page" (as we used to call them...), on the world-wide-web at various addresses since ~1994. I've been tinkering with software and the web since those early days, and ended up building a career on it, culminating with the 2011 founding of software consultancy ☵☲ PNDLM.

But some 30 years into this career, the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence has introduced enormous question marks about our collective future. I find myself thinking about the purpose of life; the roles I ought to play; the contributions I might be able to make toward the soft landing of humanity.

In more normal times, I have 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 better outcomes for people.
