What I build

60+ repositories spanning quantitative finance, legal analytics, AI agent infrastructure, and mathematical visualization. A central policy-orchestrator governs cross-repo policy enforcement, secrets hygiene, agent contracts, and vector database federation across the full stack.

Quantitative Finance & Trading

Project Description
alpha_research Signal research — time-series embedding, factor analysis, regime detection
ts_embed Time-series embedding for market microstructure analysis
energy_texas ERCOT grid analysis — iron-air storage, solar, UNA structure, bond financing
cyfopt Options strategy construction and evaluation
cmeordergw CME order gateway implementation (Go)
sv* suite Full trading platform — risk, strategy, PnL, execution, FIX protocol
StoneView Technologies Quantitative research and portfolio management — global futures, minimal factor correlations

AI & Agent Infrastructure

Project Description
cortex Agent coordination layer with structured reasoning
llm-router Multi-provider LLM routing with cost optimization and fallback chains
vector-lab Vector database experimentation — embedding strategies, hybrid search, Qdrant
joel-knowledge Personal knowledge graph and retrieval system

Legal Analytics & Language

Project Description
legal-tax-ops Multi-jurisdiction tax and legal exposure analysis toolkit
words_quantum_legal Parse-syntax analysis for legal and contractual language
morpheme-page Morphological word decomposition with 15 interactive visualizations
sovereign-legal Jurisdictional analysis across four layers of court authority
dna-rights Natural rights assertion toolkit — biological parentage as jurisdictional fact
caseledger Legal case management with 1.7M-vector document corpus and GPU fact extraction

Infrastructure & Governance

Project Description
policy-orchestrator Control plane for 61-repo ecosystem — policy enforcement, agent contracts, vector DB federation
docvec Document vectorization pipeline for legal corpus (244K vectors)
gpu-workers GPU compute orchestration for batch embedding and fact extraction

Mathematical Art & Visualization

Project Description
conformalmaps.com Visual art from complex analysis — Hopf fibrations, conformal transformations
bulldogs Evidence-checked veterinary knowledge base with interactive Canvas2D clinical visualizations
coherence-research Δ.72 coherence framework — instability detection via coherence metrics

Forks & contributions

Project Upstream What I added
puffin jdubray/puffin Claude Code desktop UI — 299 commits of structured reasoning workflow and sprint orchestration
open-multi-agent-fork open-multi-agent Production hardening — model-agnostic agent orchestration with task scheduling
