I build and fix
the systems that
run public life.

I work on public sector programs and technology systems that aren't working. Delivery Forensics is how I figure out why — tracing where decisions broke down, where ownership got lost, and what actually caused a program to stall. Trajectory Management is what comes next: stabilizing or resetting the system so work can move again.

Through Occupant, I deploy cross-functional teams to do this work directly, and build tools that make it concrete: State Capacity AI tracks what AI actually costs governments, with live procurement benchmarks and decision infrastructure that surfaces what vendors obscure. I'm an Assistant Professor of Practice in Urban Technology at the University of Michigan and founded PDX Design Month and developed the model for local civic response teams.
