I build and fix
the systems that
run public life.

→ Bounded advisory & scoped tools for public-sector tech & AI

I work with public-sector teams on bounded delivery problems — backlogs and stuck workflows that need a fix in weeks, not quarters. I scope the problem narrowly, build a working tool against your actual data, and price it to move without a procurement bottleneck. Most of the wins are pattern problems: eligibility triage, document classification, case routing, backlog review where AI can add eyeballs without replacing the people holding the system together.

See State Capacity AI for what this looks like in practice.

→ Writing, speaking, and teaching

I publish Making Public Work, a newsletter on public-sector technology, teach at the University of Michigan, and speak with leadership teams about AI and institutional capacity.
