I’m a generalist with a love for learning about and using new technology. For 30+ years I’ve been building software and in the last 20+ years have started and sold many internet companies.
I still don’t know what my life’s work is or if it even exists. I just build tools that I need, explore my curiosity, share what I learn and try to have fun and enjoy the process.
I write about SEO, business, and how to ship products with AI that have craft, quality, minimalism and simplicity at their core.
