Hey, I'm John.

I build systems that connect emerging tech to the people who need to understand it—developers, policymakers, enterprises. I love exploring the world—ideally under natural power—and learning about how things connect. Read more about me.

My work spans a lot of domains, so I created this as a low friction way to share what I'm working on, whatever its state of development. For a long time I've wanted to build in public; this digital garden is my effort to do just that.

If you're interested in anything I'm writing about, please reach out! That's half the point of doing this.
