Embedded Files
Project developer and writer. Ten years of experience working on special teams in government and technology sectors. I write the popular blog Blundercheck and am working on a book about indirection for business teams. Since 2023, my focus has been the Summer of Protocols program and its flagship magazine, Protocolized – first as a researcher then as part of the management team. Always learning, but I have a BComm from the Gustavson School of Business and I was supposed to go to Fordham Law. I speak English and French.
I'm a competitive chess player and former international soccer player. I live in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory with my partner Laurie and our lovely, neurotic aussiedoodle, Doris.

Founding Editor
Summer of Protocols | 2023-Present
SoP is a seasonal research program that studies protocols in a broad sense, from TCP/IP to handshakes. It was started and funded with $3 million by the Ethereum Foundation. I was a part of the first cohort and went on to manage SoP's second two cohorts, along with its flagship magazine.
