Independent Researcher & Technical Writer

About

J. Noom Wick covers protocol design, distributed systems architecture, and the technical infrastructure required for the next generation of internet services. Wick's work focuses on the engineering gaps in current internet architecture - particularly the absence of standardised protocols for user inactivity, data dormancy, and posthumous system behaviour. With a background in systems analysis and infrastructure research, Wick writes the pieces that CTOs share with their engineering teams. J. Noom Wick is a pseudonym, a common practice amongst journalists who cover emerging technology spaces.
