I explain how complex systems work and what happens when they fail.

I’m an explanatory writer and journalist who helps people understand systems that affect their lives: public infrastructure, institutional decision-making, and consumer technologies where mistakes carry real consequences.

I’ve written consumer and technical guidance for finance and technology platforms, translating complicated rules, tools, and behaviors into clear, usable information. This includes practice guides, troubleshooting articles, and reviews designed to help readers make informed decisions and avoid costly errors.

Alongside this work, my reporting has focused on breakdowns such as flooding that never gets fixed, public safety systems stretched beyond capacity, institutions struggling to meet their obligations, and the people who absorb the cost of those failures. I follow issues from policy and governance to everyday life.

Across my journalism and commercial work, the goal is the same: clear explanations that hold up when readers need them.

My work has appeared in The Ways to Wealth, Indianapolis Monthly, Seeking Alpha, and other publications. I’ve also worked behind the scenes as a copy editor and ghostwriter for consumer technology and infrastructure content.
