Design systemsthat keep AIaligned

I work at the seam of design systems, AI agents, and enterprise UI workflows. 20+ years building interfaces under real constraints. The current chapter is machine-readable contracts, reconciliation loops, and the guardrails that keep generated UI in agreement with the system it belongs to.

AI can generate UI. It cannot keep it aligned. I would rather build the guardrails than be the production line.

The work that defines the current direction, and the two-decade throughline beneath it.

02About

Two decades at the seam

I am a design engineer. Over two decades in web, app, and product design, through several reinventions of how the work gets done.

What I do now sits one layer below the screen. I treat design systems as contracts that both people and machines can read, and I build the specs, tooling, and reconciliation that keep design, code, and documentation telling the same story. I hold a patent-pending application as sole inventor on that reconciliation method, which I treat as evidence of how I think, not a business.

03Daily instruments

Tools I build to think

Custom GPTs I made for my own workflow and use most days. Not products. Evidence that I live inside these systems and reach for building rather than waiting.

Selected archive

Two decades of consumer and enterprise craft beneath the current work. Depth over volume, kept for the visual-systems judgment and interaction range it shows. Where the foundation came from.
