Market-facing CTO/Chief Architect. Based in Reading.
This GitHub is sparse by design, serious engineering sits behind client NDAs, and the body of thought I publish under Edz314 lives elsewhere. What's here is personal: some roguelike forks I'm fond of, a fork of FINOS's Architecture as Code, and a handful of Python experiments where I'm stress-testing ideas before they become writing.
- Enterprise Runtime — architecture as continuously-executing control system, not static governance
- Cognitive Sovereignty / Cognitive Architecture — enterprise cognition as a deliberate design layer
- Risk Architecture & Ethics Architecture — legitimacy as code
- Continuous Legitimacy — the paired thesis
- AI Doesn't Kill Engineers — why agentic tooling raises, not lowers, the demand for senior engineering capability
- The Deletionist — on what not to keep
