About Me
Hello, and welcome to my website. I am Joseph, a licensed architect, long-range planner, and complexity scientist. I am passionate about planning and transforming complex social systems, such as cities, economic and political systems, and human behavior, from highly chaotic states into organized, efficient, and optimized environments.
​​​
As a complexity scientist, I research society to uncover patterns, dynamics, and structures that influence how social systems have evolved, how they will adapt, and how they can positively or negatively scale. My work focuses on enhancing social systems and optimizing their performance through effective, sustainable, efficient, and economical practices and processes. I apply rigorous scientific methodologies and data to understand and improve the performance and resilience of complex systems such as traffic and infrastructure through visioning and planning.
​​
I embrace the opportunity to share my unique way of seeing the world through the lens of Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving, and Restructuring Complexity so it becomes more straightforward to understand.
​
I model chaos to reveal dysfunction. Then, I develop the necessary steps to reach a higher state of order. Once we nail it together, we will generate efficiency and profitability for the stakeholders!
​
You Don't Invest seed money.
I do!​​
This is the D'Millio Difference.
​
By integrating model-based systems engineering methods, I develop scientific and logic-based strategies to enhance efficiency in organizational networks and processes. My experiences enable me to analyze and clarify complex interdependencies, revealing unknown unknowns that can significantly influence informed decision-making and long-term solutions.
​
Through my work, I strive to connect scientific research, practical knowledge, data, and engineering strategies, ensuring that systems—whether urban, organizational, social, or infrastructural—are not only efficient but also optimized, adaptable, and sustainable for future generations.

From Humble Beginnings ​
My association with engineers began overseas at an early age, marking the end of my childhood. I entered a world of extreme chaos, where professionals worked tirelessly to manage deteriorating infrastructure that was debilitating to society.
The task of fixing broken systems and neutralizing dysfunction felt constant and unending. This experience shaped my early views on oversight and individuals with a defeatist attitude. From that moment on, chaos and dysfunction became my enemies. It took a long time to build the resume of experiences I have today with multiple government agencies and to gain insights into who I am, what I can accomplish, how complexity works, and what is possible in terms of adding value to systems and scaling ideas.
One man can make a difference, and I intend to. However, two men can create a more significant and meaningful impact in a shorter time when they work together.
If we collaborate as equals, taking turns in leadership and followership roles, we can set an example for others to join us and follow.
Core Values
Knowledge Management and
Excellence in STEM Research
Innovation
My approach is characterized by a lifelong commitment to innovation and unconventional solutions. I place the highest emphasis on science, logic and philosophy and open dialogue
Collaboration
Collaboration and execution of a plan go together. Stakeholders from a diverse cross-section of society help me find the answers I seek. Collaboration, Diversity, and Inclusion are the heart of my work and research.
Sustainability
Sustainability is central to my values and practices. I focus on my sustainable design and planning methods to create a lasting impact on society by delivering solutions that provide value for both current and future generations.
Ethical Practices
My practice and approach require me to make all decisions in groups of three (3) or more so I can be outvoted. This is the D'Millio Confidence and Promise. I am never afraid of being proven wrong or having others tell me.
Ever Learning
As my practice is continuously evolving, I am continuously dedicated to learning and staying at the forefront of advancements in science, engineering, governance, and policy development.
