Say goodbye to chaos-inducing spreadsheets and hello to a better way of life.
Blog
I write about AI, the future of work, low-code/no-code, collaboration, communication, platforms, technology, and other topics. I pepper my posts with humor and pop-culture references. Oh, and I freakin’ despise jargon. Since 2008, I’ve penned thousands of posts, more than 1,500 of which live on this site.
