About

The through-line

I work on how humans and machines co-evolve—especially during periods when:

• roles are unstable
• tools outpace understanding
• workflows change faster than meaning
• authority and responsibility become blurred

My work spans software development, product design, narrative systems, knowledge management, and organizational practice. These are different expressions of the same underlying problem: how symbolic systems, tools, and humans interact to produce action, meaning, and power.

The role I tend to play

Functionally, I tend to operate as:

• A temporary stabilizer during transition
• A translator between technical and non-technical domains
• A designer of experiments that reveal structure
• Someone who helps systems see themselves

I work through fractional and interim engagements, entering systems temporarily, helping them stabilize or learn, and then exiting cleanly.

How I work

I try to:

• Meet people where they are, not where tools expect them to be
• Optimize for legibility and feedback, not just output
• Leave teams more capable, not more dependent
• Prefer time-bounded engagements with clear endpoints
