About The Federal Technology Sandbox

The Federal Technology Sandbox is a personal publication exploring the federal technology ecosystem.

Here I share observations about how this system actually works — how policy, appropriations, institutions, vendors, and infrastructure interact to shape federal technology outcomes.

This is not a news feed or a place for quick takes. The focus is on patterns, tensions, and ideas that emerge from studying the system over time.

Some posts comment on developments in the ecosystem. Others explore broader questions about why certain outcomes repeat across agencies, programs, and administrations.

The Sandbox is also a place to engage with readers who think seriously about federal technology. Those conversations help sharpen the questions that deserve deeper investigation.

The deeper analysis lives on the 6pointco platform.
The Sandbox is where the observations begin.
