about: My name is Dragan Okanovic, I'm a researcher and a software engineer with experience in web development and 3d computer graphics. I'm working on tools for large-scale collaboration and malleable software, with a "big bet" on canvas-based UIs.
open science, economics, project management, optimization theory, human‑computer interaction
I most often think about a single question: What does it take to coordinate the work of 10,000 people? How about 1 million people? How about 8 billion people?

computation, complexity, qualia, consciousness, writing
I am intensely interested in questions of consciousness. I consider this, and related domains, to be crucial in unlocking the next phase of science, as they'll likely require some new fundamental discoveries.
