Product Insights for Emerging Technology

20 years in emerging tech — ex-Head of Product at Palantir, now founder of two ventures.

At Common Sense, we’re building modern agentic AI systems for local government — 100x increases in productivity across critical workflows that simplify civil service and delight citizens.

At First Principles, we help emerging tech companies generate massive value, ship faster, align teams, and unlock product-market fit or hypergrowth — through fractional product leadership and expert product coaching.

Whether it serves 10,000 users or 10 million residents, the system has to work — and keep working.

The U.S. hasn’t had a balanced budget in 25 years.

Every administration since Clinton has overspent – not because taxes are too low, but because government systems are too inefficient.

Obama tried to fix it with the U.S. Digital Service. They saved HealthCare.gov and proved world-class engineers can make government work. But USDS was too small and its remit too limited to tackle the structural waste driving deficits.

This year, Trump and Elon Musk rebranded it as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The mandate: cut $1B a day. Agencies were slashed, programs shut down, costs trimmed. But broken software and processes stayed in place – and when systems are broken, the costs always come creeping back in.

Both efforts failed for different reasons:

– USDS lacked breadth, urgency, and proactivity
– DOGE lacked precision, patience, and long-term vision.

That’s the gap we’re filling with Common Sense.

We work outside government, so we can move fast. But we go deep into the plumbing – the legacy systems, the paperwork, the IT that wastes billions and frustrates citizens.

Urgent enough to matter.

Precise enough to actually work.

Remote work is no longer a choice. 
It is the building block of the future workplace.

As we venture further into 2025, the need for remote jobs just keeps on rising  and clever companies aren't fighting it. 

But here's the reality:

Getting a remote job in 2025 requires Wi-Fi and a laptop.

You must be strategic.
You must position yourself.
And most critically  you must demonstrate you're remote-ready.

Here are some practical tips to get you seen in the remote-first universe:

✅ Make your resume remote-friendly

Emphasize skills such as self-motivation, async communication, time management, and online collaboration. 

✅ Keyword optimization

Terms such as "remote-first," "virtual team management," "distributed teams," "async tools," and "online productivity" can make your profile show up in search results.

✅ Establish your online presence

Whether it's LinkedIn, Twitter, a personal blog, or online communities  demonstrate how you contribute, interact, and communicate online. Visibility builds credibility.

✅ Display your setup

A clean home workspace or a well-lit Zoom background says a lot. Share it with pride — it builds employer trust.

✅ Get proficient in async tools

Knowledge of tools such as Notion, Slack, Trello, ClickUp, and Loom is no longer a choice. It demonstrates you're prepared to get started.
