About

The Pragmatist Futurist is a blog discussing themes and topics around technology disruption, Generative AI and the role of cloud services enabling the change.

There is quite strong focus towards Amazon Web Services, but no other topics are left undiscussed, if I find the need to do so.

The focus tries to be more business and strategy oriented than tidbit technical, but every now and then there are some technical thoughts as well.
