About Me

I am a software architect and engineer with over 20 years of experience, working at the intersection of data platforms, web systems, and team leadership. I am drawn to problems where the right abstractions make the right thing easier — and to the long, patient work of finding those abstractions and giving them away.

From mid-2024 through mid-2026, I led the architecture and delivery of a client platform from concept to launch-ready. That engagement is complete but unlaunched at the close of the contract; product specifics remain under NDA. What I can say is that it exercised a distributed offline-first graph store, Schema.org-oriented semantic modelling, early production work on mouldable interfaces, and planning-based interaction chains — ideas I have since published under the RelationalFabric org — the DCSGS whitepaper on distributed graph storage, and libraries including Canon (lazy typing), Howard (claims in the Curry–Howard tradition), and Suss (reference implementation of the RaCSTS spec for propagator networks). Alongside these, I have been building Agent Brain Trust — expert collectives that turn AI assistants into a room with friction — and RPL, a Markdown-embedded reasoning framework that makes prompt reasoning inspectable.

The thread running through all of it: I have a long-standing interest in workplace neurodiversity (ADHD diagnosed, ASD assessment pending) and I think the perspectives that come with it — relentless pattern-spotting, comfort sitting with ambiguity, a low tolerance for ceremonious abstractions — show up in how I work and what I build.

Outside of contracted work, I write long-form pieces on Level Up Coding (see Writing), maintain the open-source projects above, and am usually somewhere mid-conversation with the next idea.
