THE SOFTWARE ARTIST

I am not a computer scientist. But I am in love with the edge of what is knowable and possible.

I am not an engineer. But I can build intricate things, trace small details, and I know the materials.

I am not a software architect. But I think in the systems that move information through dimensions.

I am not a manager. But I love builders because I cherish the pain and joy of fitting reality to us and with each other.

I am not a designer. But I understand designs as a process to consciousness.

I am not a data scientist. But I desire data to surprise me with the truth.

I do not build money generation engines. But what I’ve built has generated outsized value.

I am painting pictures with software.

There are many great artists. I am neither unique nor better. But this is my heart. So I give myself license.

Today, software is the most powerful medium I can wield. But software is changing. And so will I.
