Corp-OS
A portable personal work OS, shipped as a Claude plugin: 23 skills that operate on a folder of markdown files.
Panama City, FL
Product work, and the systems behind it.
Product Leader
I build integrations, ecosystems, and lately the AI tooling I use to do the rest of the job. I teach ethics in technology to about a thousand students a year, and I run a disc golf non-profit that turned out to be the best product management training I have had.

01 / Work
What I have built
Tools I actually use, built in the open and published with their failure rates attached, plus the brand and event work that keeps a volunteer organization running.
Software & AI · Independent
Product OS
A company-agnostic product management skill system: a curated brain of confirmed claims, each carrying its citation.
Software & AI · Independent
Five-Phase Design System
The design system this site is built on: tokens, type, and components, contrast-checked in both themes.
Design, brand, and event work
Mostly for the disc golf non-profit, where nobody else was going to make it.
Education · Florida State University
CIS3250: Ethics and Computer Science
Rebuilt FSU's computer science ethics course from the ground up in 2020, with a new textbook, and have run it for about a thousand students a year across four campuses since. SACS- and ABET-accredited.
Education · Florida State University
COP3353: Introduction to UNIX
FSU's one-credit introduction to the shell, taught since 2025 on the existing course framework, with a textbook I wrote for it because the optional ones predate most students.
Partnerships · Daxko
Daxko Partnerships Through COVID
Ran strategic, referral, revenue, and ISV partnerships for a five-product-line company through the pandemic: 6x partnership revenue in two years, a first-of-its-kind Netchex deal, and the DaxkoExchange marketplace launch.
02 / Capability
Where I am useful
Five things, in roughly the order they show up in a piece of work.
Product Strategy
From requirements gathering through delivery and into post-market surveillance and support.
Integrations & Ecosystems
Public APIs, marketplaces, and technology partnerships that carry revenue rather than logos.
AI Tooling
Claude plugins, skill systems, and eval harnesses. Built, measured, and published with the failures intact.
Design Systems
Tokens, components, and accessibility posture that survive contact with more than one deliverable.
Teaching
Course design and assessment scaffolded to real learning objectives, at a scale of about 1,000 students a year.
03 / Track record

The full history, including teaching and engineering, is on the résumé.
