I'm an independent researcher working on how rights, incentives, and access can be represented as structured systems. My work focuses on protocol-oriented models, schemas, and standards-style documents that clarify how modern infrastructure actually behaves—and how it can be improved through cleaner architecture.

My background is in software and interface design, and I still approach problems through those lenses: treating systems as interfaces, mapping constraints, and tracing how small structural choices compound into large institutional effects. I prototype when needed, but most of my work sits at the intersection of protocol design, systems thinking, and rights modeling.

My current flagship project is the Universal Sports Graph (USG), a standards-grade framework for representing sports rights, entitlement structures, and interoperable distribution. The project spans RFC-style specifications, JSON schemas, and a versioned registry of rights objects. Beyond USG, I maintain a broader research canon of whitepapers, briefs, and RFCs that examine how different sectors behave under clearer incentives, better-defined structures, and more human-centric system design.
