hi I'm Jim. I find what the current moment needs for the next — in systems, products, whatever seems worth understanding.
Previously: systems that attracted acquisition and funding, grew audiences, reduced risk and cost, improved revenue, put information in front of large numbers of people.
Currently finishing HWT, tokens for passing auth state around. Buzzword version: sovereign authentication for multi-agent delegation chains with decentralized domain-based authority. hwtprotocol.com though I think it should live here...stay tuned.
Available for taking a look at things... diagnostic, architectural, organizational.
The articles below show how I think about where infrastructure and intellectual work are going.
