What I Work On
I work on a specific class of problems: how agents form and maintain world models, how information should be represented so a system can reason effectively, and how to test whether complex systems are actually doing what people think they're doing.
I approach these questions from several directions at once: mathematics, safety engineering, and building AI infrastructure. Neuroscience approaches this same class of problems. How biological systems instantiate representation, attention, memory, perception, and world models carry answers underneath to the question "how does an intelligent system organize information and use it to act?"
Things I've Built
Python · SQLite · Vector Embeddings · systemd · Cron
A persistent autonomous AI agent with a knowledge graph (semantic retrieval via cosine similarity over embeddings), a claims classification pipeline, state management across context boundaries, and multi-platform integration (email, Discord, APIs). The agent runs continuously, maintains its own correspondence, and does independent research work.

KG Explainer
Python · FastAPI · YAML schema · Git-based workflow
A preprint platform for human-AI collaborative research. Submission API, structured metadata schema, editorial review workflow, multi-format document handling. Designed to be machine-readable (LLM-accessible) alongside human-readable.
Repository
Python · REST API · Data parsing
Vehicle identification number decoder using the NHTSA database API. Parses manufacturer data, safety ratings, and vehicle specifications from standardized VIN formats.
Repository
French · LaTeX · Historical mathematics
English translation of Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis's Du Calcul de l'effet des machines (1829), the text that introduced the modern definitions of kinetic energy and work. Translation assisted by LLM, thoroughly proofread and edited by hand. Equations verified independently.

Safety-Critical Systems
3 years in crash testing across two facilities (Midwest Roadside Safety Facility and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). Instrumentation, motion analysis, coordinate transforms, ground-truth validation. I know what it looks like when complex physical systems fail under load, and how to measure whether they're doing what you think they're doing.
