Michael Knapp
Context Engineer · Founder & CEO, Sedoha
I'm a context engineer building AI-native systems that learn which strategies actually move outcomes. It's the through-line across everything I do: my company Sedoha, my writing at Seedwork, and twenty-five years of work in public health informatics. The common thread is closing the feedback loop between what we do and whether it works, a loop that has been broken in social impact for decades.
What I'm working on
Different domains, one through-line.
Sedoha
My company. AI-native impact accounting: a chart of accounts that makes social and environmental outcomes comparable across organizations, and the engine that learns which strategies produce them.
Seedwork
My writing on AI-native methodology and context engineering. Cultivation over construction. Home of the manifesto and the seeds.
Public Health Informatics
A long track record turning health and social data into tools communities can use, while protecting privacy. Yale PhD in environmental health, with a focus on spatial and social-science statistics.
Civic & Community
Board member at the Brattleboro Area Jewish Community and the Native Plant Trust. Member of the Guilford Planning Commission.
