What happens next

Four steps, and you can stop after any of them.

01 · Reply

Within one business day, usually sooner. Either a few clarifying questions or a time to talk — written by me, not by a sequence.

02 · Call

Thirty minutes, no charge, no obligation. If the honest answer is that you need a different specialist — or nobody at all — that is what you will hear.

03 · Brief

A written scope: deliverables, constraints, trade-offs, what is explicitly excluded, schedule, and price. Fixed price wherever the scope can hold still.

04 · Build

Working increments rather than a reveal at the end, so you can redirect while redirecting is still cheap.

Other reasons to write

Not everything is a consulting engagement, and that is fine.

Research

  • Collaboration on locomotion, soft robotics, or granular media
  • Paper review and technical reading
  • Questions about any of the published work
  • Speaking, teaching, or a guest lecture

The projects

  • Bugs, feedback, or feature requests on anything in the portfolio
  • Interest in The Chronicles of the Groundskeeper — rights, illustration, or adaptation
  • Playtesting Board Foxes or Ramen Tio
  • Open-source contributions
