Hey, I'm Jim.

I'm an integrator. I've spent 30 years connecting things others keep separate — technology and education, security and business, AI and implementation.

I started in the classroom, teaching kids to think computationally. Then I moved into enterprise security, translating risk into decisions executives could act on. Now I help people work with AI systematically — building workflows, not just having conversations.

I write Signal Over Noise, a weekly newsletter on AI implementation, and Second Brain Chronicles, documenting the process of building a second brain in public. I'm also a co-founder at Remote Resilience Hub, building AI agent platforms for international schools, property agencies, and expat services.

I was born in the US, moved to Europe as a kid, and grew up in the UK. These days, I live with my family in Spain.

This site is where I write about what I build — and where I connect with people who want help doing the same.

Tools I work with

A short list, not a shrine. These are the tools I actually use every week.

• Notion — my operating system. Every project, every framework, every set of notes lives here first.
• Obsidian — my long-term memory. Daily notes, the vault, the graph.
• Claude Code — my thinking partner for anything that touches code or process design.
• GitHub — where I publish the skills, agents, and MCP servers I build in public.
