Currently, I develop web-based projects at Microsoft. I focus on human-computer interaction and assistive technologies. I write a lot of TypeScript.

I love long-term thinking, and I enjoy working on projects with lasting impact. To discern what lasts, I study ideas and behaviors that have persisted throughout history. I write about this at blog.smockle.com.

Drop me a line, especially if you have a book or podcast recommendation!

Here is the complete reading list.
