About

I research, write, and advise on why systems behave the way they do under pressure, and why they fail. My work spans artificial intelligence, sports, business, governance, and political systems.

Opinion and analysis live here. Applied consulting lives at Cinderpoint.

Consulting

AI, Governance, and Institutional Systems

I help organizations see where their systems break in real use.

  • Spotting risk before it becomes a failure
  • Clarifying responsibility when things go wrong
  • Fixing gaps between policy and daily operations
  • Making complex systems easier to manage and review
The goal is to fix real problems, not produce paperwork.

Sports Performance and Governance

Applied consulting based on real work inside football clubs.

  • Match and opposition analysis
  • Identifying patterns that affect results
  • Improving review and feedback processes
  • Supporting staff with clear, usable analysis
Featured work:
Performance Analyst, Cwmbran Celtic FC
Systems and Strategy Analyst, Irish First Division football club
