Technology that works
requires knowing what it's for.

In the US, 611 is the number you dial when the service fails you. SixOneOne is that call, for organizations, communities, and schools navigating a relationship with technology that too often forgets the people it's supposed to serve.

What we do

Fractional CTO

Senior technical leadership without the overhead. From architecture decisions and team structure to roadmap clarity and engineering culture, embedded where it matters most.

Engineering leadership Cloud architecture Team development

AI Governance & Operational Ethics

An independently developed ethics framework for organizations navigating AI deployment at scale. Moves from diagnostic to implementation. Practical, documented, and built to hold up.

Ethics framework Policy design Risk assessment

K–12 AI & Ethics Education

Technical curriculum for students who deserve to understand the systems shaping their world. Not just how to use AI, but how it works, who it serves, and what questions to ask of it.

AI literacy Algorithmic thinking Ethics by design

Research & Manuscript Review

Independent review for researchers, foundations, and institutions who need their work checked against reality — manuscripts, studies, proposals, systems. Practical accuracy first, backed by technical rigor and ethical grounding wherever the work calls for it.

The repair line.

In the US, 611 is the number you dial when something's not working. When the connection drops and you need someone who actually understands the system, and why it stopped serving you.

SixOneOne is named for that call.

Somewhere in the acceleration. The optimization, the automation, the scale. Technology began leaving the human behind. The communities it was meant to serve. The people whose lives it was supposed to improve. The land we share and live alongside.

Closing that gap requires more than better tools. It requires education, so people understand the systems shaping their lives. Ethics, so the costs aren't buried. Governance, so accountability has teeth. And a commitment to building technology that keeps people, and the living world alongside them, at the center.

The practice brings senior technical leadership to startups and growing organizations, AI ethics and governance frameworks to teams navigating deployment, and curriculum to K-12 schools whose students deserve to understand the systems shaping their world.

SixOneOne was founded by a practitioner who has spent a career building and leading inside technology, and who believes this is the work the moment calls for.

Technosocial Study

I build technology for a living. I study it because we deserve better from it.

A self-directed, public study at the intersection of critical theory, algorithmic governance, and the politics of technical systems. Phase 1 runs through August 2026, roughly 10–12 hours a week, with a reading list built deliberately across disciplines and perspectives.

The work is documented on Substack as it happens. Not polished essays. Thinking out loud, with citations.

Let's talk about where technology meets your people.

Whether you're an organization navigating AI adoption, a school designing curriculum, a startup that needs senior technical grounding, or a community figuring out where to start, the first conversation is always exploratory. No agenda. Just an honest look at where you are.
