Build log
A running log, newest first.
What I shipped, built, researched, and wrote. Dates mark when work happened or, for ongoing efforts, that it's active now — I don't back-date anything.

- Ship
Rebuilt this site from scratch
New design system, information architecture, and content — hand-built in Next.js, no templates, WCAG 2.2 AA, statically generated.
- Build
Grew the interactive lab suite to seven
Retrieval, aviation risk, and legal decision-trace, then confidence calibration, a detector half-life simulator, a multi-agent build orchestrator, and a Taste-DNA wine-match explorer — each a working demonstration on a testable engine.
- Write
Wrote up tail risk in aviation decisions
Why average risk is the wrong number for a go/no-go call, and what expected-shortfall thinking borrows from quantitative finance.
- Build
Building Littman
Legal intelligence: ingestion, hybrid retrieval, structured extraction, and the review and audit layers as one connected system.
- Research
FlightReady prototype
A transparent go/no-go risk model for general aviation — per-factor contributions, an uncertainty band, and a tail-risk view.
- Research
Building OENRA
Chemistry-aware wine intelligence: mapping a wine’s chemistry and a person’s palate onto the same eight sensory dimensions to predict — and explain — personal enjoyment.
- Write
Wrote the OENRA method up as a working paper
From molecules to enjoyment — the eight-dimension palate model, its confidence commitments, and the peer-reviewed literature it rests on, with the honest limits stated up front.
- Milestone
EagleGrid architecture study
A build specification for real-time multi-sensor object tracking on edge hardware — sensor fusion, tracking, and latency budgets.
