I design and evaluate systems for multi-agent coordination, shared-state consensus, and human-in-the-loop governance. Most of my work is private.

Coordination & Consensus — Task allocation across heterogeneous agents, reputation-weighted arbitration, and convergence on shared state under partial or conflicting information.

Knowledge Infrastructure — Reconciling subjective observations into stable, auditable definitions; managing drift and the graceful expiry of stale assumptions.

Spatial Computation — Tooling for mutable spatial representations, region-level behaviors, and time-aware visualization of evolving state.

Photonics & Adaptive Optics — Early-stage work in lightfield control, beam shaping, and diffractive methods for structured propagation.

Governance & Safety — Review flows, transparent audit paths, and practical guardrails for mixed human/machine systems.

• Minimal, composable kernels for distributed coordination and state tracking
• Review and confirmation flows that turn subjective input into verifiable shared knowledge
• Lightweight monitoring for change detection and stability verification

I serve on the board of a bonsai society, and the practice informs how I build: deliberate constraints, measured intervention, and growth you can verify over decades rather than sprints.
