Mission: Building technology that elevates workers, strengthens nations, and serves human purpose.

What I Build

I build libraries the world needs: saints, factories, trade schools, churches. I build drones, robots, nuclear and energy systems. Each project starts with deep information analysis, thoughtful system design, and careful implementation.

1. Information Analysis / R&D

Ontology building, ground-truth mapping: data flows, constraints, vulnerabilities, and human factors. Applied to drones, robotics, nuclear systems, and energy infrastructure.

Building the knowledge foundations for 125K+ annual visitors exploring saints, manufacturers mapping supply chains, and communities finding sacred spaces.

2. System Design

Architectures that reduce complexity, increase resilience, and protect the human person. From autonomous systems to critical infrastructure.

Designing systems that scale: from AI-powered bill-of-materials intelligence to interactive maps connecting millions to trade schools and churches.

3. Implementation

Deployments with continuous feedback, accountability, and long-term stewardship. Real systems in production: robots, drones, energy grids, nuclear facilities.

Shipping products that last: open-source tools, mission-aligned ventures, and public resources that serve communities for years.

Critical Infrastructure & Cyber Resilience

A security-oriented approach shaped by defense research and manufacturing systems work.

  • Cyber-physical resilience
  • Secure data integration
  • Insider-threat identification
  • Interdependency mapping (energy, mfg, logistics)
  • Vulnerability and cascading-failure modeling
  • Continuity-of-operations frameworks

Robotics and AI must be secure, explainable, and ordered toward the human mission, not system fragility.

Price-to-Part Theory

Part count drives complexity, complexity drives fragility, fragility drives cost.

Principles & Commitments

Human Dignity

Technology must never reduce persons to data.

Critical Infrastructure Protection

Resilient systems are a matter of human and national security.

Worker-Centered AI

Automation should elevate workers, not eliminate them.

Formation & Media Wisdom

Technology must form the human imagination, not deform it.

Catholic Social Teaching

A steady, nonpartisan compass for innovation and stewardship.

Ad plenam felicitatem: cognoscere, amare, laudare, revereri, servire Deo.

Toward perfect happiness: to know, to love, to praise, to revere, to serve God.
