Decentralize all the things! I am passionate about decentralization technologies and the opportunity they present to create a more equitable and sustainable world for all its inhabitants. Since 2016, I have engaged in R&D projects using the Cardano, Arweave, Algorand, Filecoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin networks. I was a speaker on the Decentralization Values panel at the inaugural DWeb event held at the Internet Archive in 2016.

I am the project lead for:

1. Landano: minting ISO standards-compliant land right records as Cardano blockchain NFTs, leveraging new financial opportunities for undocumented rightsholders.
2. Orcfax: a decentralized oracle that collects, validates, publishes and archives standards-compliant fact statements to the Cardano blockchain.
3. Arkly: a standards-compliant, digital archives management service for blockchain applications that provides persistent links to immutable off-chain files

My area of expertise is applying records management standards and archival science research to requirements for fully decentralized architectures. I have been working with technology for archival collections since earning my Master's degree in Archival Science in 1997. I am the founder of Artefactual Systems and the creator of the free and open source Archivematica and Access-to-Memory (AtoM) software applications, the most widely deployed archives management solutions in the world. I have worked with public sector institutions worldwide to provide industry-standard record-keeping technology and digital preservation services that range from writing strategy reports, analyzing system requirements, designing system architectures, developing software, and managing open-source projects.
