About Jonathan Robert Pool

Recent work

Until September 2025 I worked for 7 years as a front-end web developer with a specialty in accessibility test automation, first at Vanguard and then at CVS Health.

Previous work

Earlier I was a project director at The Long Now Foundation, developing a massively multilingual digital dictionary, and even earlier the founder of an office-space startup and an academic political scientist. If you really want the details, see my résumé.

Domains

Work, travel, and the rest of life have involved me in:

• languages (artificial and natural, and how to translate words automatically)
• models of choice (social, political, and linguistic)
• real estate (commercial and common-interest residential)
• human rights (disability, speech, housing)

I have published on some of these.

Home

My home base is in Las Vegas, Nevada. My wife, Susan Colowick, is a librarian.
