Writing

The same discipline as the product and delivery work, expressed in prose. The Control Plane is the public intellectual record on AI governance. My books and Tries Too Hard carry judgement, leadership, and what it means to be human inside systems.

In progress and themes

The book in progress and the topics it explores.

In Progress

Systems That Hold

Writing in progress.

A book on systems thinking as a practical discipline for builders and operators, not the academic version. How to see structures underneath organisational behaviour, and what to do once you see them.

It connects delivery at Lula, building Colloxa, and writing on The Control Plane: when a system breaks, is it people, design, or governance? Usually all three.

Written for delivery leads, founders, and practitioners who need pattern language for incentives, feedback loops, and the gap between what a system claims to do and what it does.

Alongside my books on emotion and identity, it completes the picture: enforceable systems at work, and honest prose about being human inside them.
