Background

About Me

I'm an independent engineer and consultant.

Most organizations don't have technology problems.

They have process problems, communication problems, and information problems.

My work sits at the intersection of all three.

For more than a decade I've built software, conversational systems, and automation tools that help organizations operate more effectively. Today I do that through 29 Court Consulting, where I help organizations untangle complicated workflows and build systems that people actually trust and use.

I also maintain numerous open-source projects and regularly write about AI, software, and the work behind the work.
