Writing
Off the clock
A run of short personal essays outside the day job. Six since early July. The newest two, Come Sit Near Me and No One Is Coming, went up July 11.
The Resonance Hypothesis
The longest piece on the site. 11 pages on what AI reveals about consciousness, with a 22-minute audio version. The piece I had been wanting to write for years.
The Long Game · LinkedIn newsletter
Long-form on agentic payments, on LinkedIn. Where the autonomous settlement stack is heading, and the calls I am making in public.
Canonicalization Beats Workflow
Long-form on the structural pattern connecting adjudication, clearinghouse modernization, and B2B remittance reconciliation.
Authorization Without Identity
Why agentic commerce can already initiate payments while the settlement layer still expects a human.

Third book in the agentic payments stack series. Chapter 1 is on-site.

Participated in industry work on healthcare remittance from 2013 to 2017.
