Open publications

Runnable evidence

Software

Repositories and releases are most useful when connected to the decision or system they make concrete.

Building GRC

Creating the conditions where ambitious systems, independent researchers, and durable open work can compound.

Clio Coder

The coding agent I built for the people who maintain the code that science runs on. Your models, your machines, and a receipt for everything it did.

CLIO

A context layer for scientific work. I lead it as its overall PI and architect; my team builds the pieces; together it is where IOWarp becomes something a scientist can actually run.

Hermes

A multi-tier storage architecture that went from research paper to deployable, versioned middleware, and what survived into the next systems.

IOWarp

The NSF-funded platform for moving and shaping scientific data for agentic workflows, and the ground that CLIO stands on.

LABIOS

What happens when an I/O request carries its own intent. A paper, a patent, and now a public experimental runtime.

WTF-P

Research writing as a staged system. A question, an evidence inventory, section plans, isolated drafts, and review loops a coding agent can run.

ZulipChat MCP

A small bridge between AI agents and real team conversations, and what I learned about the point where a message becomes an action.

Protected ideas

Patents

Only the official record is used while older local patent metadata is reconciled.
