About

I am on a mission to help organizations build and deploy real-world decentralized (#SSI) solutions.

Startups and large organizations are launching projects that have the potential to radically improve how things are done. These projects can be highly damaging if they aren't set in the right direction early.

Reducing the chance of damage and increasing the chance of success is my specialty.

Whether a startup building a new product or a major corporation changing their industry, SSI is tough. It is too easy to get caught up in the weeds and forget the real mission - change how things are done. A light touch of deeply experienced leadership makes the difference between success and failure.

The majority of high-level execs want you to hire them to bring their team in to solve your problem.

I can't do that. I can't stand what happens when my team leaves.

I work with you and your existing team - to leverage your existing investment in people and tech. So we can leave you with an even better team while building out your game-changing technology. Odds are pretty high that you've already got some amazing people on your team - we want to make them even better.

If you're staring at a project that you're just about sure. your team is ready for - but not quite there, reach out. I love helping nudge teams into execution mode.

  • Canada's Multi-Agency Situational Awareness System - Keeping it Simple

    ISCRAM 2013

    The Canadian Multi-Agency Situational Awareness System (MASAS) is rapidly becoming Canada‟s national system for exchanging emergency management incident-relevant information amongst multiple agencies and jurisdictions. Through the use of structured information aligned with open standards, and a centrally managed open architecture, MASAS provides a trusted virtual community with the ability to seamlessly exchange emergency management information.

    The Canadian Multi-Agency Situational Awareness System (MASAS) is rapidly becoming Canada‟s national system for exchanging emergency management incident-relevant information amongst multiple agencies and jurisdictions. Through the use of structured information aligned with open standards, and a centrally managed open architecture, MASAS provides a trusted virtual community with the ability to seamlessly exchange emergency management information. MASAS offers an information exchange architecture that is based around a highly resilient system of data aggregation hubs that are easily accessible directly or through third party commercial tools by emergency management officials at all levels, from the smallest community in the most remote areas of Canada‟s north to key federal stakeholders such as the federal Government Operations Centre or the Canadian military. This paper highlights the key design principles, experimental activities, and technology implementation strategies that are positioning MASAS as a Canadian success story in the making – from coast to coast to coast.

  • METHOD FOR DETERMINING RELATIVE RANKING DATA IN A BROKER MEDIATED GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION SERVICE ENVIRONMENT

    Issued United States 8954341

    A method for determining a value indicator in a broker-mediated geospatial information service environment includes receiving feedback data at a first system of the broker-mediated geospatial information service environment. In particular, the feedback data is received from a plurality of respondents, and relates to a broker-mediated geospatial information service provided to each respondent of the plurality of respondents. Furthermore, each respondent of the plurality of respondents is a prior…

In particular, the feedback data is received from a plurality of respondents, and relates to a broker-mediated geospatial information service provided to each respondent of the plurality of respondents. Furthermore, each respondent of the plurality of respondents is a prior requestor of a process-dataset solution for performing the broker-mediated geospatial information service. Based on the feedback data, a value indicator relating to the process-dataset solution is determined.
