I build AI systems you can inspect after they act.

I co-founded MLNavigator with Donella Dawn Cohen and am building adapterOS so useful models can run on a computer you control.

Now

adapterOS is the current build: local inference, explicit records, and a deployment path that can be reviewed after it runs. The smaller tools I ship are where those constraints get tested against real traffic first.

Building adapterOS at MLNavigator.

MLNavigator is the company I co-founded with Donella Dawn Cohen. adapterOS is the system that company exists to build: local model execution, explicit data boundaries, and records that outlast the decision they describe.

Before the company

I worked across defense, AV engineering, manufacturing, and product design. The software that held up stayed close to the people using it and named the information inside it.
