Projects and Startups

This page profiles my ventures and collaborations. It builds on the draft stub and provides more detail:

  • Data Detective LLC – My consulting practice helps organisations make sense of messy data and adopt generative‑AI tools responsibly. We offer services ranging from data‑quality audits and retrieval‑augmented generation pipelines to multi‑agent workflow design. Case studies include automating insurance‑claims analysis and building knowledge‑graph interfaces for research labs.
  • Generative media experiments – I’ve spent hundreds of hours testing text‑to‑video models like Sora, Gen‑3 and SD3. This section will host galleries of the resulting clips, annotated with my prompt strategies and observations (e.g., steerability issues, anthropometric conditioning). Readers will find blog posts on my experiments with domain‑specific languages for video prompting and the “Holodeck test” for multi‑character scenes.
  • AI for science prototypes – Ongoing projects using SciAgents‑like architectures to assist in materials discovery and drug design. I’m working with partners to build agentic notebooks that integrate literature retrieval, code execution and simulation. Early results include novel polymer candidates and improved docking workflows.
  • Wargaming and game AI – As a lifelong wargamer, I’m exploring how reinforcement learning and large language models can drive AI opponents in historical and speculative scenarios. Potential commercial spinoffs include educational simulations and training tools for business strategy.

Some projects are well in-flight (MVPs) and will be pitched in the fall and early winter. Each project will have its own sub‑page with status updates, team members, demo links and ways to get involved.
