AI and automation: where it was used
Agentic AI Developer and Systems Architect
Independent · 2025 – Present
- Founded and edit GKOS, a public AI governance specification that turns provenance, context, authority, review and authorized agent use into testable contracts and machine-readable records. The v0.82.1 edition (25 September 2026) has 62 permanent requirements and 28 gate codes.
- Directed the schemas and assurance tooling: deterministic context replay, fail-closed validation, and a mutation-test corpus covering all 28 gate codes, run in CI on Linux and Windows. Releases state their coverage and conformance limits.
Senior Systems Analyst, Executive Support
Walt Disney World · Oct 2013 – Present
- Exported the team's OneNote knowledge base to Markdown with attachments intact, shared the export and method with the team, and used a copy for a Confluence migration with an approximately 95% successful import. Documented the migration's limitations.
- Added an experimental analysis of relationships between notes, including which documents supersede others, so current material is easier to find in search. It is non-deterministic, so it is used as an aid to human review.
