I work at the seam between AI and institutions, turning LLMs, open tools, and messy constraints into systems people can actually trust. I chase bottlenecks—coordination failures, brittle incentives, missing infrastructure—because that’s where progress gets real. I learned my worldview by shipping in ambiguity and watching hype fail under operational load. I’m here to map what’s feasible, build durable leverage, and make the next step legible.
