I spent twenty years at SketchUp and Trimble translating complex software and architecture ideas into support people could actually use. Now I build practical AI workflows, cognitive systems, and public artifacts for non-linear minds.

Primary Focus Arete
Creating a platform to help non-linear brains understand themselves better and creating solutions to manage their struggles.
Cognatype is a learning and assessment platform to help you understand the traits that make up how you think and to help you build strategies that leverage your strengths, rather than leave you feeling helpless or like you have a disorder.
An explorable map of cognitive traits and references, currently an internal artifact in the Cognitive Genome work.
Things I'm Exploring Gnosis
The things currently taking attention: active research, frameworks in motion, and the systems I am shaping as I use them.
Things I'm Building Arete
Where local systems, public tools, and cognitive frameworks get shaped into usable artifacts.

VisitA shared brand and frontend resource so Codex, Claude, and other tools produce consistent public artifacts.
Open the toolA local operating layer organized around cognitive modes, restartable workflows, and useful agent handoffs. This is the "catch-all" for the different systems, rules, engines, and digital tools that reduce friction and empower executive function.
A map-first way to describe cognitive shape without collapsing people into scores or generic productivity advice.
Framing tasks as small strategic on-ramps, so getting started stops being the hard part.
One coordination model that scales action across Runways, Playbooks, and Roadmaps: small, medium, and large.
Turning scattered captures, bookmarks, and notes into an addressable, retrievable knowledge base.
Things I've Built Praxis
Public-facing doors into the broader ecosystem: tools, brand surfaces, and utilities that make the work tangible.
A public utility for deciding which Claude model and effort level fits the work in front of you.
Open the toolAn explorable map of cognitive traits and references, currently an internal artifact in the Cognitive Genome work.
My business, the home for AI workflow strategy, consulting, and practical implementation support.
VisitA simple planner for building and tracking a workout, built as a practical public tool.
Open the toolA prioritization framework that holds roughly three priorities at a time, to cut overwhelm and keep motivation.
A weekly community kickoff, starting the week with intention and shared momentum.
