The Core Thesis
Capability is outpacing readiness.
Artificial intelligence is advancing on an exponential curve. The institutions meant to govern it — courts, agencies, schools, public services — evolve linearly. The widening gap between what technology can do and what our systems are prepared for is the defining governance challenge of this era.
My work exists inside that gap: designing infrastructure that helps institutions close the distance without sacrificing trust.
