Hi, I’m John – nice to meet you! I develop digital products and research how people interact with AI. I enjoy turning research questions into tools people can actually use – a habit that goes back to one of my very first projects, a maths-learning site earnestly named Mathe-VollLogo. When I’m not at my desk, I’m probably outdoors in the sun, playing board games, or on a mission to find the best Greek restaurant in town. Happy to connect!
