About
Welcome to my "home page", on the world-wide-web at various addresses 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 & 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 better outcomes for people.
More recently I've become aware of the enormity of the changes, challenges and opportunities that artificial intelligence will bring to global society. I feel a moral obligation to understand something about what is coming, to identify & spread a message about what people working together can do to improve outcomes for everyone in this new world. I have also become much more interested in finance, economics and market dynamics. I will be writing about these things, and other topics, in the hope that it benefits many other than myself.
