[ SPEAKING & EVENTS ]
Talks from real work, not theory.
Topics drawn from building consumer-facing data tools on top of public records — what holds up over time, what compounds, and what the discipline looks like from the inside.
[ TOPICS I COVER ]
Civic Data as a Category
Public datasets that exist but are unusable by the people they're supposed to serve. Why this is where the next decade of consumer-facing accountability tools gets built, and what's different about building for a user who's in trouble — not browsing.
30-45 minTrust as a Product
Why some data tools earn citations from journalists, academics, and AI engines while most don't. What it actually looks like to build something the public-records ecosystem treats as a peer-reviewed source.
30-45 minBuilding Independent Tools at One-Person Scale
What you can ship as a solo operator — and what you can't. The disciplines that hold up under load, the work that compounds versus the work that produces noise, and what stays human even as more of the work is automated.
30-45 minDecision Quality as Operating Practice
Why judgment is the bottleneck, not intelligence. The kinds of decisions worth logging, the disciplines that prevent drift, and how to know whether a working session actually sharpened your thinking or just produced output faster.
