Engineering

I build software systems that operate at the threshold where computing meets real world physics. Leading teams, writing code, and consulting. I've worked on NASA deep space missions, AI analysis of satellite imagery, AI-driven merchant vessel operations, and cybersecurity for critical infrastructure.


Most recently, I led development of Dragos's Neighborhood Keeper product in partnership with DOE & on a White House request, an analytics tool with a macro view of many critical industrial facilities worldwide, including electric providers for 85% of US homes. We did some other projects that [REDACTED].

Investing

Occasionally I invest a small amount in an idea I want to support and help grow, championed by someone who inspires me.


I have pretty eccentric taste. Send me a note if you're working on Instant Testing Kits for Raw Milk, Physical Security, Cognitive Radio, or EMF shielding.

Writing

I write about information processing, myths & stories, and organizational complexity. I have strong opinions built from first principles, and try to articulate things you already know but have never heard. Read here.
