I write about technology reshaping our world, craft fiction about where it takes us, and build tools for the journey. For builders, policymakers, and the curiously human.
In order to understand how AI is impacting the world of work, you need to understand the concept of abstraction. Throughout the modern age, the impact of technology on work has largely been one of abstraction. Most early factory assembly lines involved human beings creating things with their hands and then passing them to the […]
Vibe coding is dying, and it is being replaced by something far more radical. In February 2025, Andrej Karpathy coined the term 'vibe coding' to define the collaboration between a human and a chatbot to develop software. The term was named the Collins English Dictionary Word of the Year for 2025, but as we enter into 2026, I […]
ChatGPT has been cited as a potential ‘Google-killer’ due to its ability to serve some of the jobs that many people previously looked to the world’s biggest search engine for. ChatGPT excels in providing contextual, sophisticated answers and outputs in a conversational form. Indeed, it is gradually extending to other forms, including tables and pdfs. […]

I'm a product manager turned AI builder and writer. Before that, I practiced law and worked in the civil service. I've spent my career at the intersection of technology, institutions, and people.
The essays are how I think. The fiction is how I feel. The products are how I test whether any of it is true. I believe the conversation about AI needs more voices shaped by law, philosophy, faith, and lived experience inside institutions that move slowly.
I also believe we're entering an era where anyone can make software — and that's a story worth both reporting on and writing science fiction about.
