I like to find patterns in the chaos. I look for microcosms, long-term trends, ripples and waves. I like to think abstractly while designing simple, concrete solutions - solutions that work today while allowing for long-term extensibility and scale.

I pay attention to Attention. Attention is one of the most powerful human cognitive functions. It determines what we see, what we hear and what we act on. Attention motivates us. It compels us. We are drawn to those who have it while we ask for others to give it. In an age of abundance the key economic driver of the coming decade will be Attention. Measuring it, learning from it, managing it and sharing it.

I am interested in the lyrical and the practical. The aesthetic and the technical. The form and the function. I prefer flow over stocks, liberal over conservative, open over closed. I am interested in helping others succeed so that we can all work and play in shared personal and professional success.

My current interests have driven me to a number of projects of passion. They are listed below.
