Technical program manager building governed AI and operational systems from ambiguity to launch.
Builder of open-source AI workflow and compliance tools (PM Butler, ComplianceGate). Applied-ML researcher with roots in media production.
What Ted builds
PM Butler is an open-source AI project management skill for Cursor and Claude Code — it turns chat into structured PM artifacts instead of one-off prompts. Read the PM Butler case study or browse builds">all builds.
ComplianceGate is a governance layer for AI-assisted code: git hooks and rule packs that catch HIPAA, PII, and custom policy violations before they ship. See the ComplianceGate case study for how it fits the workflow.
Applied ML and research work on theorubin.com covers data projects, publications, and experiments that feed back into the tools — start on the Research page or download the resume from About.
Film and media builds include creative production work and tools like FestScout and LegitFest — explore Creative Work and the builds table for live sites.
