Guided journey · Employers & boards
Focused on Sneat. Open doors for exceptional situations.
Plainly: I am building Sneat, and that is where my time goes. But platform-level judgement is rare enough that keeping this door closed entirely would be bad ecosystem engineering.
Step 1 of 3
What the judgement looks like
My twenty-five-plus years of engineering (Dell, Bank of America, AMCS, SentryOne) led to founding an ecosystem where products, standards, and infrastructure reinforce one another. The rare skill is not any single layer — it is keeping vision, architecture, branding, and execution coherent across all of them.
Step 2 of 3
Evidence over adjectives
My record is inspectable: the ecosystem map with honest statuses, open-source foundations, public specifications, and teams that shipped. Even this site is a working artifact — a graph-native publishing engine, not a template.
Step 3 of 3
What fits
Advisory on platform and ecosystem strategy; board-level product judgement; fractional architecture leadership. Full-time only for situations compelling enough to compete with founding — which is a high bar, honestly stated.
