Medium articles, Substack dispatches, and the ongoing journal. New pieces publish as they finish.
Recent features, press, and new releases. The work as it lands beyond the desk and into the hands of readers.
Featured on HackerNoon. A look at the AI tools opening real doors to PTSD support for veterans, and the case for building technology that meets people in the hardest moments.
Available now. The unguarded account of twenty years of leadership across five corporate environments, and what it costs to lead people well inside systems that were never built for them.
The longer pieces. Essays on leadership, building with intention, faith, and the cost of becoming. Published as they finish.
I can spot an unguided AI website from across the room now—I built one myself before I learned to see it. When you give a model a request with no direction, it hands back its safest good taste. Here is how I use a skill file to keep the work unmistakably human.
Twenty years of security writing taught me to be short and exact. Now short and exact gets called AI. When judging whether a person is behind a piece, look for a detail that cost them something to learn.
Why my studio grows on referrals, and the public audit I run before anyone takes a client’s money. Your own website is the clearest measure of how a client’s project will be treated once nobody is watching.
What Artificial Analysis measures, who it helps, and where its numbers stop. If you build with AI, or pay for it, which number do you trust and what do you do with it?
The failures I hit most in practice are ordinary: the agent works, and the data source it depends on hits a billing cap. A plan tier is an architectural decision, whether you treat it as one or not.
What a false 72 taught me about testing tools built to grade other people’s work. Any tool grading other people’s work has to prove its own work has been graded—and a test that has never failed has proven nothing.
Shorter dispatches. The notes between the books. The thinking out loud that turns into longer work later.

The books carry the longer arguments. The studio is where the building happens. Both run in parallel.
