I'm a technologist, systems thinker, and engineering leader. For more than three decades I've worked on systems ranging from NASA Space Shuttle software to modern AI platforms, distributed systems, and enterprise technology.

This blog explores software engineering, artificial intelligence, leadership, and the long-term consequences of the technologies we create. I also may write about life experiences.
