Foresight and strategy for the speculative present.
I've spent over two decades working on multilateral public delivery, large-scale technology, designing and shipping consequential tools across federal, state, and local jurisdictions and the public institutions that operate alongside them. Technology continues to encroach on civic life and the question is no longer whether to build it. I'm interested in building the rails for an era of public trust that AI agents must legally respect, without making decisions illegible to the people they affect, and without outsourcing judgment to tools, platforms and systems that aren't our neighbors.
