Flagship case studies

The first six to inspect

These are ordered intentionally for hiring readers. They show practical AI/software judgment before the deeper archive asks for attention.

Local Computer Use Agent

Python // Tkinter // OCR // Template matching // Structured runtime logs

Supervised Windows automation with OCR, recovery ladders, and operator-visible logs.

This project shows a real operator-first automation philosophy: observable state, recovery ladders, logging, and controlled execution instead of blind automation theater.

NGS Assay Planner

Python // Streamlit // Deterministic rules engine // Typed planning models // Validation-aware reporting

Vendor-neutral NGS assay planning with deterministic strategy scoring, tradeoff logic, and validation-aware reporting.

This project turns pre-design assay planning judgment into visible software. It shows how strategy decisions can be made transparently at the biology-software boundary without pretending that planning output is the same thing as a validated assay.

AI-BletonGuy

Python // PySide6 // AbletonOSC // Local-model routing // Voice input

Natural-language Ableton control with typed plans, execution checks, and live-session discipline.

This is a serious machine-control project with real operator constraints: ambiguity handling, safety validation, local-model routing, and live creative control.

ExoAVTerminal

Standalone web deployment // Systems UI // Audiovisual routing // Signal-first navigation

Standalone ExoCortex terminal site for audiovisual routing.

ExoAVTerminal gives the media-side system its own sharp entry point without forcing everything back through the professional shell.

Exocortex Presence System

Tauri // React // TypeScript schemas // Node sidecar // Python Presence agent

Local-first Exo control plane with room presence, voice routing, source refresh, and scoped Signal publishing.

The build is a practical architecture for making a personal agent legible and controllable. It prioritizes local responsiveness, explicit routing, safe action boundaries, visible diagnostics, and a dedicated manifestation plane that can behave like a persistent system presence rather than a tab in a browser.

EntropySeq

Python // Streamlit // Sequence parsing // Sliding windows // Shannon entropy

Shannon-entropy sequence profiler for sliding-window DNA complexity and regional signal variation.

Entropy can act as a compact signal for sequence organization, coding potential, repeat structure, and local complexity shifts across genomic regions.
