30 years designing complex systems at the frontier of emerging technology, from trading infrastructure at Lehman Brothers to AI World Models for enterprise auditing.
What connects 30 years across Wall Street, FinTech, supply chain, and AI research is a single instinct: I understand how complex systems fit together across business, compliance, data, and operations; and I know how to design for what's coming, not just what's here.
I built trading systems at Lehman Brothers, RMBS rating infrastructure at Standard & Poor's post-2008, blockchain payment systems as CTO of a maritime FinTech startup, and directed blockchain strategy at Intelligent Audit for five years. Now I'm applying that same systems instinct to the frontier problems in enterprise AI.
I'm open to fractional CTO, technical advisory, and AI strategy consulting engagements; particularly with companies building in agentic AI, enterprise automation, or supply chain technology.
Standard LLMs hallucinate on carrier rules, weight limits, and routing constraints — they treat business rules as text to interpret rather than constraints to enforce. This architecture solves that through four distinct layers.
Every other AI detector analyzes a finished document after the fact. Authorship Meter monitors your writing session live — measuring how much of the work is genuinely yours, message by message, through four independent signals.
Transportation audit companies hire dozens of agents to answer repetitive customer queries about invoices, payments, shipments, and disputes. SmartKid replaces the queue — customers describe their issue in plain English, SmartKid queries your live database and responds instantly, accurately, without hold music.
AI agents are being trusted with consequential actions — payments, adjustments, contract modifications, shipment changes. Every action rests on assumptions. Those assumptions expire. No current framework systematically checks whether they are still true at the moment of execution. Warrant does. It is an Assumption Validity Layer that intercepts consequential agent actions, checks all four failure modes, and decides: Proceed, Review, or Hold.
