What I'm developing

In consulting, I keep seeing the same pattern: enterprises designing and delivering solutions without a shared specification, relying on individual knowledge to fill the gaps — and paying the cost every time someone leaves, a team grows, or delivery needs to scale. The model and tooling are my answer to that.

Digital Solution Lifecycle Model — an opinionated engineering model for lifecycle management: classification tiers, phases, processes, roles, patterns, and deliverables that together make delivery a system rather than a craft.

Digital Solution Lifecycle Tooling — Unix-philosophy tooling that progressively automates the roles currently held by humans, freeing people for the creative judgment machines cannot replace.

Both in active development — the model provides the specification; the tooling progressively automates what it defines.

Things I'm building and exploring — applying my knowledge to new problems and areas beyond my consulting work.

  • Digital Solution Lifecycle Model
    An opinionated engineering model for digital solution lifecycle management — classification tiers, phases, processes, activities, roles, patterns, and deliverables that together make lifecycle management a system rather than a craft. Human-guided, machine-executed, and designed to co-evolve with the organizations that adopt it.
  • Digital Solution Lifecycle Tooling
    Unix-philosophy tooling that augments and progressively automates eight roles currently held by humans — from Project Manager to Operator — freeing people for the creative judgment machines cannot replace. Built on the Digital Solution Lifecycle Model, connected through a Project Manager the business will eventually run for itself.
