About
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of business and technology.
For decades I’ve worked with the systems companies depend on: the software they buy, the tools they build, the security that protects them, and the sales motions that pay for it all. Big enterprises and small shops. Same lesson every time: the technology only makes sense if you understand the business underneath it.
I’ve sat in more than one chair. Vendor. Seller. Technologist. Operator. Builder. That mix is the point. I know how a system looks when you are implementing it, when you are trying to sell it, when you are trying to keep it secure, and when you are the person who has to live with the decision.
AI changed what is possible. Work that used to be too slow, too expensive, or too impractical to do thoroughly can now get done, if you already know where the work is. I use AI, research, and modern software development for that. Not as a spectacle. As tools.
I’m not learning business through AI. I’m applying AI to business and technology problems I’ve spent decades learning how to understand.
Some problems become consulting engagements. Some become software. CueSlip and Authority OS are live. Cairn is the private knowledge system I use myself, and I’m developing it toward a commercial product. The Council is a system I built so I can trust what AI tells me before I act on it.
I live in Kansas City. I’m a veteran.
If you have a problem that should be easier by now, tell me what’s stuck.
