About

I am an independent researcher studying the architectural requirements that allow performance to remain adaptive under uncertainty, across domains, time horizons, and actor types.

My work is conceptual and integrative. Rather than proposing new behavioral mechanisms, I focus on identifying minimal, domain-agnostic functional structures that must be satisfied for adaptive performance to be sustained in complex human and hybrid human–machine systems.

My research draws on control theory, human factors, organizational theory, and systems engineering.

I previously held senior roles across technology, operations, and advisory contexts. This background informs my research perspective but does not define its scope or objectives.

Research interests

• Adaptive performance under uncertainty

• Functional and architectural models of performance

• Hybrid human–machine systems

• Control, coordination, and regulation across time horizons

• Limits and failure modes of performance architectures
