Rules
Define and iterate upon the machine-readable rules that govern the manual and automated aspects of your operations.
Rules are policies made machine-readable — the point where “we agreed to do this” becomes “the pipeline checks that we did.” I have spent years on API governance tooling, and this is where governance either becomes real or stays aspirational forever.
I help you craft the rules that govern the technical details of your APIs and the wider operations around them — linting rules, design rules, security checks, the machine-enforceable version of your policies. I lean on tools like Spectral and a Git-driven, standards-based approach, and I deliberately keep you independent of any single vendor's runtime. The rules are yours; they should outlive any tool you happen to run them in.
The aim is governance that runs quietly in the background, catching drift before it ships, without a human having to police everything by hand.
What you walk away with
- Machine-readable rulesets tied directly back to your policies
- Enforcement wired into your pipelines so it runs on every change
- Rules that stay portable across tools and vendors

If your governance only happens when someone remembers to check, let's make it run on its own. I would love to talk.
