Books

Five published books. Three make one argument from three directions, that creative work deserves a paper trail and the paper trail should be infrastructure. Two are operator's guides to working with AI coding agents.

Stake Your Claim

The case for creators taking ownership seriously before the platforms decide it for them. Written for musicians, writers and designers who have never read a licensing agreement and are about to need one.

Proof as Infrastructure

The technical argument. Why proof of creation belongs in the settlement layer, not in a terms-of-service page, and what it looks like when registration, licensing and royalties are contracts rather than promises.

Suede Labs: The Human Authenticity Layer

The company book. How Suede AI is structured, why it stays self-funded, and how VoicePrint, Conduit and the Base contracts fit together into a single trust layer.

The Claude Code Bible

The complete operator's guide to Claude Code and AI coding agents, written from a product estate that ships with them every day.

Codex in Production

A practical operator's guide to OpenAI Codex: AGENTS.md, worktrees, skills, and the discipline that keeps an agent fleet honest in production.
