All built for my own research. That is the whole brief.

In the lab

Litreview

A literature review, assembled by a fleet.

A coordinated fleet of AI agents fetches the literature, preprints and journals alike, reads it in full, and cross-verifies claims before a line is written. The synthesis arrives as a draft review: structured, cited, every claim holding a path back to its source.

04 · Commission

If your group spends more time searching than thinking, write.

I take a small number of commissions: research tooling designed and built for labs and R&D teams, shaped to how your group works.
