👋🏻 Hello

I'm a software engineer and technologist who has spent over twenty years building software. I enjoy bringing novel approaches, such as behavioural science, to software design in order to create unique products.

Writing

I write on X and my blog. Here are some of my most read articles:

• The Gruen Transfer is Consuming the Internet
• I Will Not do you a Quick Favour
• Withnail and AI - We've Gone on Holiday to the Future by Mistake

Datablast

Create charts people actually want to repost. Turn your metrics into social-ready charts in seconds. Coming Soon

Fat Tony's

I created Fat Tony's as an online community for fans of Nassim Taleb and his ideas. This grew into an annual meet-up and podcast, where I had the opportunity to interview some of the world's most interesting people, such as Stephen Wolfram, Jim O'Shaughnessy, and Emanuel Derman.

Metaverse Estates

I started Metaverse Estates as an early land parcel developement project in the Decentraland and Sandbox Metaverses. When Facebook rebranded to Meta, and metaverse tokens went paraboic, I cashed out, cautious of the bubble that was forming.

Podcast Guest

I am occassionally invited to speak on podcasts. Here are some of my favourites:

• Designing The Invisible (Creative Odyssey Podcast)
• Humanising Technology (The Human Risk Podcast)
• The Bed of Procrustes (Rational VC Podcast)

Credentials
