About Paul Pardi

I love making difficult concepts-both in technology and philosophy-easy to understand. I\'ve spent the last 30 years writing code, creating technical and user experience content, managing teams of software developers and content developers, and teaching philosophy. I am creative, passionate about technology, and proficient in the latest development tools and technologies. I\'ve been leading successful software development and content publishing teams and building quality software and content. Specialties: People management, Microsoft software platform development (C#, ASP.net, Silverlight), Web Development (JavaScript, CSS, HTML, JSON) and web frameworks. I\'ve worked as a Director leading teams on content strategy, technical writing, marketing, and software development. I\'ve taught philosophy as an adjunct and full time professor at Seattle Pacific University. I taught an introductory philosophy course for twelve years with high student feedback ratings as well as Metaphysics, Logic, Ancient Philosophy, and Early Modern Philosophy. I also publish a website on philosophy at and have been doing that since the late 90s.

   I teach an upper-division philosophy course which focuses on topics covering a broad range of philosophy including epistemology, ontology, and ethics. My students are in various disciplines and so part of my task is to make the subject accessible and enjoyable for non majors.
