Fieldwork

Problems met in their real environment.

This is a selected record of systems I have entered, shaped, built, repaired, or carried into use. The domains change. The through-line is ownership across the boundary between a need and a working deployment.

Primary evidence

Four ways the work reaches the field.

Enterprise AI Console Case Study
