I'm a software architect with 30+ years of experience building large-scale data and knowledge systems — the last several years focused specifically on knowledge graphs, semantic web technologies, and ontology design. Professionally, I work on aligning massive, real-world data systems with the kind of rigor that only comes from watching systems fail in production for three decades — currently working on a large-scale, bi-directional, cross-industry RDF/OWL-to-relational knowledge graph.

Outside of work, that same instinct — build the structure, find the real connections, make sense of complexity — has pulled me toward a different kind of system: the interlocking crises of energy, ecology, and human behavior that define this moment. I care about the natural world, about building things that last, and about the shared human project of learning to live well within real limits.

I write here about knowledge graphs and ontology engineering, and increasingly about how those same tools — used carefully, used honestly — can help make sense of the biggest, most tangled problems we're facing as a species.
