My work connects software architecture, hands-on development, product strategy, company building, and independent research.
I carry complex ideas from the first question through decisions, implementation, launch, and real-world operation.

How the work connects
The domains change. The work remains centered on understanding a complex system, making its parts legible, and building a structure that can operate and evolve.
In software, that means defining boundaries, data, behavior, interfaces, infrastructure, and the path from design to production. In business, it means shaping a useful product, an operating model, and a company capable of delivering it.
Foresight extends the same discipline to knowledge and decisions. The protocol separates what is observed from what is inferred, records the evidence behind material claims, preserves uncertainty, and connects decisions to the actions that follow.
The research programs apply that method to subjects where unsupported conclusions carry real consequences. The Longevity Research Program uses it to evaluate healthy-aging evidence in humans and dogs. Reverse Engineering Cognition uses it to investigate how minds predict, learn, feel, believe, coordinate, and reason.
Selected work
These projects show the range of the work: company formation, protocols, production software, technical architecture, and products built for real use.
01 · Company and research organization
A company built around systems for evidence, judgment, planning, and follow-through. Its work includes the Foresight protocol, software products, and applied research programs.
Visit Epistemic Cognition02 · Protocol design · evidence · planning
A protocol for turning an objective into structured work. Foresight keeps observations, claims, evidence, assumptions, unknowns, risks, decisions, and next actions visible from the initial question through execution.
Visit Foresight Protocol03 · Knowledge software · research notebook
A working notebook for questions, sources, media, claims, and developing answers. It gives the Foresight protocol a usable software environment for planning, research, review, and follow-through.
Visit Foresight Notebook04 · Software architecture and development
A machine-first sequencing system built around compiled opcode graphs. The system combines a runtime, persistent execution records, approvals, triggers, packages, releases, and a browser interface that makes the underlying graph readable.
Visit Sequode05 · Business intelligence · financial analysis
A business intelligence product that organizes company metrics and helps reveal income, capacity, and cash flow hidden inside operational data. It provides separate decision, operations, reporting, and approval workspaces.
Visit MoneyBall06 · Market data · valuation · membership product
A precious-metal discovery product that reviews jewelry and bullion listings against current melt value, product evidence, availability, and price history. Members receive scored opportunities through a continuously updated research feed.
Visit SpotMelts07 · Home energy · data analysis · records
A home-energy review product that imports utility interval data, shows household usage patterns, preserves notes and reports, and flags overnight or unusual load patterns that deserve investigation.
Visit Home Energy Watch08 · Interactive entertainment · full-stack product
A phone-first murder-mystery experience supported by printable host and player materials. The product combines story, game design, role assignment, QR-driven scenes, evidence discovery, accusation flow, protected downloads, and online purchase and access.
Visit Belladonna House09 · Applied research · evidence publishing
A public evidence journal and biological relationship map for healthy-aging research in humans and dogs. It preserves sources, claims, contradictions, uncertainty, species limits, endpoints, and safety boundaries in a durable research record.
Visit Longevity Research Project10 · Product and field application
A botanical exploration product built around live plant records, field expeditions, a working journal, objectives, and progression. It connects software architecture, real-world observation, and product design.

The protocol, evidence library, and publications belong to one connected research practice.
Applied biological research
I started the program to understand what the evidence supports about healthy aging in humans and dogs. The work collects papers, compares findings across species and study types, grades the strength of evidence, records contradictions, and keeps safety limits visible.
The eight-volume Foresight Applied: Longevity series preserves that research as a readable, evolving record. It documents what is supported, what remains uncertain, and what still needs to be studied.

This twelve-volume program examines the systems that make prediction, motivation, learning, emotion, self-modeling, simulation, concepts, belief, social cognition, causation, and scientific reasoning possible.
The work studies cognition as an architecture: interacting mechanisms that produce judgment, behavior, coordination, and explanation. The complete first cycle is being prepared for publication.
View the twelve-volume seriesProfessional practice
I take on selected projects that need an experienced builder to understand the whole system and carry the work through.
That can include designing a new product, restructuring an existing system, building an application, creating an operating workflow, evaluating where automation belongs, or helping turn an early idea into a business with a concrete product and delivery path.
The work can begin with architecture, development, product planning, or a business problem. The scope is defined around what needs to be built, decided, or launched.
