Leading technical architecture across Sherwin-Williams' enterprise platform estate, and running an architecture knowledge base that an AI curates and architects ratify.

Ask the site the way an agent does
AI agents connect to this site's MCP server and call its tools. This box makes the same search_site call from your browser and shows the request, the answer and the round trip.

Blueprint
How the pieces fit →Blueprint is the set of open tools I build for architects: a capability catalog you can import, a canvas that knows CSDM, skills your AI agent can run, and a starter for a knowledge base that maintains itself. Free, open data and open source, each on its own address.

A Static Site That Uses an API Without Calling It
Commit a trimmed snapshot of the API, refresh it by hand behind a version gate, and fail loudly on a missing id. Build and visitors never call the source.Static sites · Integration - 3 min
Six Questions for Every Technology Request
Ask every “can we buy X?” request the same six questions. One primary technical class exposes overlap, and the answers go back on the request.APM · Technology Acquisition - 6 min
Blast Radius Is a Query, Not a Diagram
Blast radius is a walk over CMDB relationships, not a picture, and only as honest as its paths through services. Three checks before an agent trusts it.CMDB · CSDM
