01 / Flagship
Rust
Virustic2
A deterministic de Bruijn assembler for streamed gzip FASTA/FASTQ, with quality filtering and paired-end and multi-lane support.
Scientist · Independent consultant · Science-fiction author
Turning messy biology and data into decisions.
I build rigorous scientific software and decision-ready data workflows at the intersection of bioinformatics, machine learning, and life-sciences R&D.
Selected open source
Tools built for scientific work that has to hold up.
Small, focused packages with documented assumptions, deterministic tests, practical interfaces, and explicit scientific boundaries.
02
Python
Stabilomics
Robust, deterministic LAD-LASSO stability selection for high-dimensional genomics and scientific feature tables.
03
Python
Antigenic Audit
Detects entity leakage, reversed-role leakage, and temporal overclaiming in influenza antigenicity evaluations.
04
Rust
RefAudit
Audits how reference-genome choice changes agreement, ranks, signs, status calls, and top-k bioinformatics results.
05
Python
SeqSketch
Deterministic MinHash/LSH sequence search with exact Jaccard reranking and time-directed similarity graphs.
06
Python
BenchLog
A local experiment tracker with atomic manifests, metric comparison, artifact hashing, and Git provenance.
SignalForge Advisors
Decision-ready R&D workflows, built with the science intact.
I advise pharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostics, medtech, CRO, and life-sciences R&D teams on AI and data strategy, bioinformatics, omics, scientific diligence, and controlled implementation of RAG and agentic systems.
01Scan
Find the highest-value workflow and decision boundary.
02Pilot
Build a controlled implementation with traceable evidence.
03Run
Integrate the validated system into an operating cadence.
Fiction
Difficult systems—imagined.
Technically grounded science fiction about institutions, belief, technology, and the human consequences of systems built to control uncertainty.
SOFTMAX
AI governance, identity, institutional power, and the systems people build to control one another.
The Orchard
Inherited missions, partial truths, civilizational drift, and first contact.
The Gospel According to Greg
A preacher, an alien civilization, and the catastrophic interpretation of a message sent into space.
About
Bench science, computation, and strategy.
I’m a PhD chemist and microbiologist whose work spans medicinal chemistry, antibiotic resistance, influenza virology, vaccine R&D, transcriptomics, machine learning, and scientific software.
Before founding SignalForge Advisors, I worked in biotechnology and vaccine development at Agile Sciences and CSL Seqirus. That background shapes how I build: scientific assumptions are documented, evaluation boundaries are explicit, and software tests are never presented as biological validation.
