Governance Technologist | Architect of ODGS | 25-Year Veteran
I am a data management professional with over 25 years of experience implementing enterprise programs ($350M+) at Fortune 500 companies.
My background is Operational Reality—Port Operations, Aviation Logistics, and Master Data Management. I build systems that work when the consultants leave.
"I help organizations count what matters before building what's expensive."
I am the architect of the Open Data Governance Standard (ODGS).
- The Problem: The "Definition-Execution Gap." Business rules live in PDFs; Data flows in Pipelines. They never meet.
- The Solution: A protocol that forces Code to respect Law. It physically prevents algorithms from executing when they don't understand the Business Definition.
I am actively working to standardize Algorithmic Liability in Europe.
- NEN / CEN-CENELEC JTC 25: Subject Matter Expert contributing to European AI & Data standard frameworks.
- EU AI Act (Art 10 & 12): Technical enforcement of Data Governance and Record-Keeping.
- Research Archive:
The ODGS reference implementation is archived in the CERN Data Centre via Zenodo.
- Domain: MDM, Data Governance, Administrative Law.
- Code: Python (Data Plane), Node.js (Tooling), JSON Schema / W3C OWL (The Law).
- The Standard: Metric Provenance
"Governance is not a document. Governance is a Dependency."
