Hi. I’m Mukarram (مُكَرّم, pronounced Mu-karr-rum), and I go by sm2n on the internet. I am interested in socioeconomic issues, and technology, and find the intersection of the two especially fascinating. This website records some of my thoughts.

Talk to me about (non-exhaustive):

• Digital autonomy/software freedom, and the broader project of human self-determination in an increasingly technological world
• Radically Better User-oriented Software Systems (think Bret Victor)
• Programming Language{s, Theory, Design}
• Decentralized Systems
• Information security and cryptography
• Urban Planning
• Virtual Worlds
