I'm an independent researcher focused on how rights, incentives, and access are structured and where those structures break down at scale. My work develops protocol-oriented models, schemas, and standards-style documents that make institutional systems legible, testable, and improvable through clearer architecture.

My background is in software and interface design, and I continue to approach problems through those lenses: treating systems as interfaces, tracing constraints, and analyzing how small structural decisions compound into large institutional outcomes. I prototype selectively, but my primary work operates at the level of protocol design, systems modeling, and rights architecture rather than application-layer products.

My flagship project is the Universal Sports Graph (USG), a standards-grade framework for representing sports rights, entitlement structures, and interoperable distribution. USG spans published RFC-style specifications, JSON schemas, and a versioned reference registry of rights objects designed to support validation, resolution, and neutral interoperability. Beyond USG, I maintain a cohesive research corpus—whitepapers, briefs, and RFCs—that examines how modern institutions behave when incentives are explicit, interfaces are well-defined, and system design prioritizes long-term coherence over short-term optimization.
