- note Digital Engineering Is Not a Department
Digital engineering creates value when digital threads, authoritative evidence, software delivery, acquisition choices, and operational feedback change mission decisions.
- note The Missing Operating System for Defense Growth
A model for connecting mission sensing, program immersion, solution shaping, capture, transition, delivery evidence, learning, and portfolio scale.
- note Technology Insertion Is a Management System, Not a Demo Day
An argument for treating technology insertion as a governed transition system with mission ownership, evidence, acquisition paths, integration constraints, feedback, and scale or stop decisions.
- note CVEAgentNet and the Next Control Plane for Vulnerability Management
A short note on agentic vulnerability collaboration, continuous assurance, and why the next frontier is connecting enriched security intelligence to bounded action and verification.
- paper Continuous Assurance Fabric Reference Architecture (CAF-RA)
A reference architecture for governed, scalable continuous assurance at mission tempo, with policy-governed swarm adjudication, replayable evidence, and enforced remediation closure.
- memo Stand Up Delegated Autonomy Directorate (DAD) as a Joint Control Plane Authority
Decision memo recommending immediate standup of a Delegated Autonomy Directorate (DAD) as a joint authority to accelerate trusted delegated autonomy at mission tempo.
- paper Agent Control Plane Reference Architecture (ACP-RA)
A reference architecture for governed, scalable agentic autonomy—single agents and swarms—aligned to DoD CIO patterns (Zero Trust, ICAM, CNAP, DevSecOps, cATO) and designed for contested/degraded operations.
- note Notes: Research that shaped ACP-RA (agent security, tool use, evaluation)
Reading notes on prompt injection, tool-use at scale, and execution-based evaluation that drove ACP-RA design choices (gateways, envelopes, evidence, anti-replay, and upgrade discipline).
- paper From PDFs to Pull Requests
Code-as-Policy: transforming Department of Defense policy workflows with DevSecOps, version control, and continuous verification.
