I build AI systems
that can be proven,
not just trusted.
In regulated industries, "the model said so" is not a compliance answer. Most teams discover that mid-audit, not during development. I build the governance infrastructure that makes AI decisions traceable, defensible, and deployable before that moment arrives. Twenty-five years in business rule management. Founder of Novus Forge.
Active Work
Novus Forge
AI governance infrastructure for regulated industries. Every agent call is intercepted for PII scanning, policy evaluation, and audit logging before a decision leaves the pipeline. The entry point is Inspector: three automated evaluation suites that prove your AI is faithful to source documents, adversarially resilient, and compliant with regulatory axioms before a single production decision is made.
Novus Inspector
Standalone AI evaluation lab. Three automated suites test extraction accuracy, RAG faithfulness, and adversarial resilience. Audit-ready PDF, HTML, and JSON reports every session.
Centenarian OS
Privacy-first longevity tracking for iOS. Designed for people serious about the science of healthspan. No subscription, no data harvesting.
From the Practitioner's Desk
Technical articles on AI governance, evaluation, and decision intelligence.
25 Years Building Systems That Have to Be Right
My career started in business rule management, at a time when explainability and auditability were the default requirement, not an afterthought. Two decades of FICO Blaze, IBM ODM, and Decision Modeler taught me that the logic driving enterprise decisions has to be traceable, testable, and defensible.
When LLMs arrived, I saw the same problem repeating: powerful capability, insufficient governance. Novus Forge is the answer I built. Inspector is how I help teams find out what their AI is actually doing before a regulator does.

Outside of work: currently deep in longevity science (hence Centenarian OS), and I spend time writing, photographing, and building things that have no immediate business case.
Let's Talk
If you're building AI in a regulated industry and the governance question is still open, that's worth a conversation. You can also find me on LinkedIn or follow the work at Novus Forge.
