Hi, I’m Joe
I've spent most of my career at the edge of where technology gets interesting — first as a designer, now leading product at an AI company. The through line is curiosity more than any specific craft.
Outside of work I read a lot, think about how things are made, and occasionally try to make things myself — a book, art, whatever holds my attention. This site is mostly a place to log what I'm into.
