I'm curious by nature, and not always very good at leaving an interesting question alone.

I tend to see problems as parts of larger systems. In software, that means asking what assumptions, incentives or feedback loops produced an issue, not just how to fix it. The same curiosity takes me into philosophy, language, consciousness and how people organise themselves.

I'm conscientious and independent-minded. I care about evidence, doing things properly and making complex ideas understandable without making them simplistic. I enjoy thoughtful disagreement, especially when it changes my mind.

There's a tension running through much of what I do: I'm excited by technologies that expand human capabilities, while concerned that those same technologies could undermine our judgement, autonomy and sense of meaning. It's a question behind both the things I build and the things I write.
