Ecommerce from the Near Future

Founder · Builder · Operator

As someone who likes working in public, sharing insights, and talking shop, this site is my collection of content and projects that reflect my own exploration of what's now possible.

As an Ecommerce professional, I tend to view society-wide technological shifts through that lens. That means understanding how businesses adapt and grow, how brands need to stand out differently than they used to, and how we can catch some of the updrafts being generated amid the chaos. As co-founder of both a Search and Shopify agency (StatBid), and a retail Ecommerce site (Poolaroo), I get to explore this new generation of Ecommerce tech possibilities from the outside and within.

As a technologist, I'm fascinated by active experimentation with modern AI tools, but broadly frustrated with the tidal wave of lazy, sloppy content generation we're all suffering through. As such, this is my attempt to become an anti-slop futurist. I try to use AI to build systems that amplify the human perspective, rather than replace it. I grew up watching Star Trek, after all, and I feel like we're at a point where we can genuinely start to bring more of those visions to life.

Both of those aspects are represented here, sometimes with concrete real world examples, other times with fanciful thought experiments and prototypes.
