The question I keep running into: organisations commission AI risk assessments and then do nothing with the findings. Not because the findings are wrong — because they're too technical to act on. That gap is what most of the work below is trying to close, in different registers.
Focus
Multi-agent AI safety and adversarial evaluation. The Failure First research — 257 models, 142k prompts, 346 attack techniques as of May 2026 — keeps expanding. Recent writing covers why compute scaling isn't a governance substitute, why moral formation alone can't align AI, robot dogs as a live security vulnerability, and what safety benchmarks are actually measuring.
Building
- Client projects — practical digital infrastructure for businesses that need it built properly and maintained by the person who built it
- This site — weekly sprints, shipping in public, with automated social publishing across Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and Twitter
- SPARK — a non-coercive AI companion for neurodivergent children, now with three distinct voices
- Afterwords — local voice output for Claude Code with voice cloning on Apple Silicon
- PAOS — a local-first agentic OS that runs on your hardware
- Homelab — Frigate NVR with Hailo-8L AI detection on a Pi 5, Home Assistant automations, self-hosted infrastructure
Writing
Publishing steadily — recent pieces cover compute and governance, safety benchmark transparency, AI alignment limits, community ownership models, robot dogs as security risk, and Perth's electronic music underground. Also running a NotebookLM pipeline that generates audio overviews and infographics for every post and project. See what's new for everything in one feed.
Available for
Two kinds of work: practical implementation for businesses that need reliable digital infrastructure without agency overhead; and specialist advisory for organisations navigating AI risk, governance, or security evaluation. Both start the same way — written scope, agreed price, deposit before work proceeds. Open to consulting engagements and conversations that start with a real problem, not a brief.
