Letters from the regulated‑tech frontier.
One thoughtful email a month. What’s actually shipping — and what isn’t — in enterprise architecture, platform engineering, DevSecOps and applied GenAI inside regulated industries. Substantive, cited, no marketing.
The promise: one email per month, never sold, unsubscribe in one click.
First issue: State of Enterprise Tech 2026 walkthrough · subsequent: new writing as it ships.

The back catalogue.
Six cornerstone essays already published — the foundation from which the monthly cadence picks up. Subscribe above, or read them now.
Issue 01The encoded enterprise architect.
Why TOGAF is your operating manual, not your job. Architecture principles that aren’t encoded don’t exist.
GenAI in regulated environments: the nine controls.
Between a demo and audited production. NIST AI RMF + EU AI Act + ISO 42001 + OWASP LLM Top 10.
DevSecOps stopped being about Sec. It’s about supply chain.
Post-XZ, post-Snowflake, post-CrowdStrike. The vendor markets haven’t caught up.
Platform engineering is the AI delivery moat.
The orgs shipping safe GenAI in 2026 are the ones whose paved paths already encoded the substrate.
The 4‑Discipline Stack: why your four functions don’t compound.
EA, platform, data, AI as four budgets and no compound. The substrate is the moat.
Australia’s AI Safety Standard, decoded.
The DISR Voluntary AI Safety Standard translated into what engineers actually do this quarter.
Plus the annual State of Enterprise Tech in Regulated Industries — 2026. Also: RSS feed if you prefer it.
