Protocols and public infrastructure
Portable identity, trust, reputation, open protocols, digital public infrastructure, and the systems that sit underneath products rather than inside a single app.
I build technical systems, measurement tools, and prototypes when the existing thing is missing, too narrow, or badly framed.
My background is design, but most of the work I’m interested in sits between product, software, data, and systems. I care less about the stack than whether the thing is legible, useful, and built at the right layer.
Portable identity, trust, reputation, open protocols, digital public infrastructure, and the systems that sit underneath products rather than inside a single app.
Context, retrieval, memory, tools, permissions, evals, and the end-to-end response experience around LLM products.
Indices, ranking systems, projections, simulations, benchmarking, and other ways of making systems easier to reason about.
Designers working close to the problem. Technical enough to build, broad enough to reframe, and useful across product, research, content, delivery, and strategy.
