Selected work

Applied systems work across corrections, justice, public transactions, and scheduling, informed by published agency requirements.
A public, source-aware study product with durable threads and a protected origin.
Contractor CRM and ResFol.io: serverless products from customer event to hosted experience.

Professional perspective
Experience in intelligence and enterprise systems shapes my approach to AI: understand the context, set clear priorities, test the evidence, and build lasting capability.
Architecture begins with the people doing the work, the decisions they need to make, and the constraints a system must respect.
Shared data and clear priorities give teams a foundation for building the right capabilities in a deliberate order.
Evaluation, traceable sources, and explicit limits make technical decisions open to scrutiny.
A system becomes an organizational capability when teams can operate, evaluate, and improve it over time.

Case note
Read this if you are deciding where the code stops and the model starts.
Case note
Read this if two users with different clearances will ask the same system the same question.
Case note
Read this if an agent-built feature keeps growing and nobody asked it to.
Ask
The assistant answers only from a versioned set of approved claims, shows the evidence it selected, and says when the record does not establish an answer.
