I'm a software engineer who publishes strategic whitepapers and memos exploring how industries rethink structure, revenue, and resilience. Recent work includes The Content Layer a constitutional upgrade to the browser start page alongside papers on education infrastructure, media systems, mobility platforms, national electrification, and institutional design.
Browsers are the world's most universal software, yet their first mile remains blank. The Content Layer proposes a constitutional upgrade: replacing the empty browser start page with user-chosen premium dashboards like Netflix, Xbox, Disney, Civics and routing a small, ring-fenced revenue skim into a Defense Fund for the Open Web. The model converts wasted real estate into a recurring civic dividend, establishing predictable funding for digital infrastructure while preserving market competition and user choice.

Released a new whitepaper, The Content Layer: A Constitutional Upgrade to the Browser Start Page, proposing a structural redesign of the browser's first mile. The framework replaces the blank start page with user-chosen premium dashboards and a mandated revenue skim that funds a permanent Defense Fund for the Open Web — creating predictable civic funding, sustainable browser economics, and a governed foundation for the public web.
Released a new whitepaper, Minimum Viable Classroom, proposing a national education infrastructure standard that guarantees every student uninterrupted access to daily grade-level instruction anywhere in America. The blueprint blends in-person and digital capacity, preserves local control, and demonstrates measurable ROI within one budget cycle.
Released a new whitepaper, The Shadow Subscription, proposing how Netflix could monetize non-subscribers by acquiring low-tier cable and FAST channels. The paper outlines a strategy to extract subscriber-equivalent revenue from shadow viewers turning reruns into revenue and the legacy bundle into a modern funnel.

This new whitepaper explores how Netflix could quietly capture cable, FAST, and syndicated viewers not to pull them into the app immediately, but to monetize them where they already are. This isn't regression. It's backwards compatibility at platform scale.
This Is Serious.

Same 82 games. Same revenue base. But a very different March.
It's not that they don't understand the numbers. It's not that they haven't seen the headlines. It's not that they think the current model is working.
Not Even Close.
An independent whitepaper exploring a provocative, under-discussed idea: what if universities spun off their athletic programs like businesses and later bought them back once the sports bubble collapses? Written from the perspective of a developer and retail veteran, this project blends outsider logic with institutional insight to propose a hedge strategy for higher education's uncertain future.

Software Engineer Building Beyond the Codebase
I'm a software engineer with a systems mindset, focused on building interfaces that are performant, accessible, and built to last.
I work with React, Next.js, Vite, and modern design systems to build responsive, maintainable web apps. I prioritize clarity — in code, in experience, and in architecture. I care about how products hold up under pressure, and how small technical decisions shape long-term resilience.
Beyond the codebase, I explore how industries, platforms, and institutions evolve. I've authored independent whitepapers including The Content Layer, Minimum Viable Classroom, The Sports Spin-Off, The Hybrid Season, The Fourth Act, The $1,000 Problem, AEEA, Less Than Net Zero, and The Shadow Subscription — proposing strategic frameworks for browsers, education, college sports, media, mobility, energy, and platform design. I also published The Human, the Robot, and the Fire — a unifying platform memo outlining how future systems can be designed for humanity, not just scale.
A strategic memo unifying six whitepapers into one thesis: that the platforms replacing our institutions must be redesigned for humanity, not just scale. It introduces the concept of Humanity First Platforms and outlines a playbook for rethinking how systems from energy to education to entertainment are built, governed, and sustained.

You wouldn't build it this way today. Not in 2025. Not if you had a clean sheet.
The NBA season doesn't need more events. It needs structure.
Because they're not buying what it is. They're buying what it could be if it were structured and run differently.
A strategic whitepaper exploring how the U.S. could make residential electricity free not as a subsidy, but as a lever to unlock national growth. This proposal reframes the electric grid as a generative economic engine that powers AI, manufacturing, affordability, and global competitiveness.

Released a strategic memo unifying six whitepapers into one thesis: that the platforms replacing our institutions must be redesigned for humanity, not just scale. It introduces Humanity First Platforms a framework for rethinking how systems across energy, education, and media are built, governed, and sustained.
Released my latest whitepaper, Less Than Net Zero, exploring how the U.S. could make residential electricity free not as a subsidy, but as a generative strategy. The paper argues that unlocking free power at scale could fuel AI, manufacturing, affordability, and a new era of national growth reframing the electric grid as America's most underleveraged engine.
Released my latest whitepaper, 'Artificial Enhanced Experience Advertising' proposing a system where ads dynamically assemble sponsor-driven, localized experiences that viewers can book or purchase in real time turning passive impressions into actionable, curated commerce.
I'm always open to thoughtful conversations and opportunities that align with long-term thinking whether it's a front-end role, a strategic collaboration, or something in between. If you've read my work or have a project in mind, I'd love to hear where you're coming from.
An independent whitepaper proposing a structural upgrade to the NBA's regular season: what if the league reshuffled teams into intra-conference groups after the All-Star break turning February into playoff qualification and eliminating meaningless games? Written from the perspective of a developer and systems thinker, this project blends schedule logic, labor integrity, and fan narrative to reimagine late-season stakes without disrupting the 82 game model.
