About
I am James Lois. I write about the uses and misuses of technology (mostly software) in business and life. I am a technologist, "A person who uses science or technology to solve practical problems."
KeystoneBit is my website. I am interested in exploring the intersection of design, engineering, and business, to make software more valuable.
Topics include:
- Value of technology
- Product design
- Software engineering
- People and work
- Digital life

I am also working on MakeWay, an application to create client portals.
