Let's Talk

I'm open to thoughtful conversations with people who have spent time with my work and see genuine overlap with something they're building, funding, or exploring. My focus sits at the intersection of software, systems, and institutional design, particularly where clarity, incentives, and infrastructure matter.

Get in Touch

The best way to reach me is by email or LinkedIn. I'm most interested in discussions around protocol design, front-end systems as interfaces to complex infrastructure, and applying structured models to real-world institutional problems.

The Approach

Scott Jellen is an independent researcher focused on protocol design, rights modeling, and interoperability across digital and public systems. His flagship work, the Universal Sports Graph (USG), defines a neutral infrastructure layer for representing sports rights through published RFCs and a versioned reference registry. Additional briefs and whitepapers explore how incentive clarity and structural design shape scalable institutions.
