I work on AI governance and responsible AI: building frameworks and platforms that government and regulated organizations can actually use. Creator of G8TED (governed autonomy for security and agents); founder of Civic Charter (government-native AI governance). I care about moving fast enough to matter while keeping trust and compliance.
Blog: “Designing a Zero-Knowledge Evidence Pipeline” -how we built a secure evidence system where the backend cannot decrypt stored evidence or persist plaintext contact lists; two zero-knowledge boundaries by architecture.Post
Blog: “Why We Built the Evidence Engine in Native Code” -camera, recording, encryption, and fMP4 in Swift and Kotlin; Flutter as the shell, not the engine; why the hot path had to stay native.Post
Blog: “Offline First Was Not a Nice-to-Have. It Was the Product Constraint.” -device may be lost at any time; chunk-0-first upload, resilient retries, fMP4; design for the failure mode that matters.Post
Blog: “Privacy by Design Only Matters When It Survives Contact With Production” -logs as export surface, neutral notification copy, storage discipline, PII-safe debugging; Anchor’s privacy model in practice.Post
Blog: “The Backend Should Not Be the Risk Surface” -one Worker, ciphertext-only R2, KV/D1 discipline, Durable Objects; Anchor’s vault backend so the server never holds the sensitive truth.Post
LinkedIn: “State AI governance needs an operating model, not another set of principles” -policy in the workflow, tiered review, vendor evidence, and what Civic Charter taught me about making governance usable.LinkedIn
LinkedIn: “ATT&CK and NIST CSF are useful. They still leave SOCs without the decision layer” -why SOCs need a control plane for actions (typed actions, modes, proof) and where G8TED fits.LinkedIn
G8TED blog: framework updates, where G8TED fits in the AI security stack, and OWASP + action governance for SOC agents.Blog

Selected work
Poppy – conversational AI for Wildster
Wildster (youth sports & creative arts platform).
LLM-powered product, 2024–present.
Operators run the platform by chatting with Poppy: scheduling classes, checking enrollment, running billing and refunds, pulling reports, and managing facilities without leaving the conversation. Example prompts: “Who hasn’t paid for the fall session?” “Schedule a new 6-week clinic Tuesdays at 4pm.” “What’s booked in the main gym tomorrow?” Shipped to reduce time-to-task and make core workflows accessible in natural language.
