operating_model/how I work

Start lean

Deliver something real fast.

Establish

Interfaces, metrics, and ownership.

Scale

The pattern into a platform that lasts.

why_this_matters/software economics

Building software is hard.

Even with generative AI, capital doesn’t reliably turn into better software. Large companies can buy ads, buildings, or fleets, but capital ≠ software.

Software suffers from diseconomies of scale: as systems grow, the cost to build, maintain, and support rises. The old moat of scale is gone; a ten-person startup can access the same infrastructure as a Fortune 500.

The new moat is collaboration: small, self-organizing teams that align, ship, and learn quickly. My work creates the environment and platforms where these teams thrive, turning complexity from a liability into an edge.
