Technology ❖ AI Integration ❖ Research ❖ Advocacy
Technology, research, and institutional navigation for people betrayed by the systems meant to protect them. Grounded in Jennifer Freyd’s framework of institutional betrayal and institutional courage — and in the recognition that AI now accelerates the tactics of coercive control. My work helps you build your record, your case, and your footing.
Who This Is For
You need to document what happened in a way that institutions will actually take seriously — and protect yourself from digital surveillance while you do it.
You're pushing back against agency misconduct and need technical, statistical, or records-management support from someone who has worked inside the system.
You serve people navigating broken institutions and want AI-literate tooling, research, or investigation capacity you can trust with sensitive cases.
You study institutional betrayal, personality pathology, or public-health harm and need a collaborator fluent in both statistics and the human stakes.
By the Numbers
What I Live By
Innovation
The best solutions aren’t found in manuals — they’re engineered in the space between what exists and what’s needed. Whether bridging service continuity during a federal system migration or prototyping a data platform under deadline, I’ve learned to treat constraints as creative prompts. The question is never “can we?” but “should we and how?”
Reason
Emotions are data, but they aren’t evidence. I trained in biostatistics because I believe rigorous thinking is one of the most compassionate things you can offer a problem — especially in public health, where the stakes are real people’s lives. Clear reasoning is a form of respect.
Efficiency
Wasted effort compounds. I automate what can be automated, document what needs to persist, and focus human attention where it belongs. At HHS, this meant ensuring critical data pipelines kept flowing even as organizations changed hands. Good systems shouldn’t need heroes.
Autonomy
I believe people have the right to make informed decisions about their own lives — including, and especially, when institutions make that difficult. Autonomy isn’t just a personal value; it’s a design principle. Systems that erode it tend to harm the people they claim to serve.
Integrity
Integrity is what you do when no one is watching — and what you’re willing to put on record when they are. I’ve worked in environments where accountability was optional and silence was rewarded. I chose differently. That choice cost something, and I’d make it again.
Transparency
Opacity protects bad systems. Transparency is how individuals protect themselves — and how communities hold institutions accountable. I document carefully, communicate openly, and believe that making things legible is both a technical skill and a civic responsibility.
Security
Security means different things in different contexts: FedRAMP compliance, data privacy, personal safety. But the underlying principle is the same — people deserve to be protected, not just from external threats, but from systems that are supposed to help them.
Kindness
Kindness is not weakness — it requires discipline, especially when trust has been broken. In work with survivors, kindness means meeting people where they are and honoring what they’ve endured. It’s the foundation that makes everything else possible.
