Software

Software is not merely code - it is architecture, logic, and governance encoded in executable form. Whether writing it, deploying it, or assessing its risks, software must be understood as both a tool and a system of record.

My work in software spans several overlapping domains:

• Design and Development - Building secure, maintainable, and auditable applications that serve legal, financial, or infrastructural purposes. Emphasis on clarity, versioning, and long-term reliability.
• Evaluation and Due Diligence - Reviewing codebases, open source dependencies, and architectural decisions for risk, compliance, and maintainability - especially in acquisitions, partnerships, or audits.
• Governance and Policy - Implementing practices that guide how software is maintained, licensed, updated, and retired. Includes intellectual property strategies, change control, and contributor access.
• Integration and Infrastructure - Ensuring that software performs reliably within broader systems - across environments, networks, databases, and APIs - without introducing fragility or hidden liabilities.

Just as machines require software to function meaningfully, so too do human systems - including the brain. In a world of accelerating complexity, part of the work is helping individuals and institutions adopt new mental models, frameworks, and disciplines - effectively installing updates where old logic no longer serves.

Good software expresses logic with precision. Great software does so with foresight and responsibility.
