Practice

System
Architecture

I help groups build systems that hold up under real use—where coordination has consequences.

Approach

Most coordination problems look interpersonal until you map them. Then you see structural causes: unclear ownership, missing states, fragile handoffs, misaligned incentives, and tools that don’t match the work.

My approach is to make the system carry the weight, so people don’t have to.

I usually start by identifying:

  • — what the group is trying to move (work, resources, decisions, money, care)
  • — what “done” actually means
  • — what states and edges exist in the real workflow
  • — where trust breaks and why
  • — what should be explicit vs left social

Then we design the minimum structure that makes the whole thing easier to operate.

01
Platform Design
Product architecture and system design for coordination tools: object models, workflows, permissions, and the UI patterns that make it usable.
02
Ontology & Data Modeling
Graph-aware models for people, groups, roles, tasks, events, resources, and flows—designed to preserve meaning and reduce data drift.
03
Economic & Operational Logic
Shared treasuries, contribution tracking, internal credits, surplus distribution, and practical incentive systems that don’t devolve into gamification.

Fit

I’m a good fit when you’re building something that needs to survive contact with reality: a venue, a cooperative, a civic effort, a platform with real users, a system with money and responsibility attached.

If you need pure marketing, growth loops, or “AI strategy” theater, I’m not your guy.
