Humanistics & Technology
Since 1980 • Humanistics • Philosophy • Computing
Combining humanities and technology since 1980. When there were only 23,500 websites in 1995, I had already been working with computers for fifteen years, exploring the intersection of analytical philosophy and computing—a perspective that remains crucial for bringing clarity and simplicity to our digital world.
With experience spanning over four decades and academic training in the humanities, I bring a unique lens to understanding how technology shapes society and human experience.
