Live personal deployment · current
A live telephone interface to my full Hermes agent. LiveKit/SIP carries calls into persistent Hermes sessions with memory, tools, and project context intact. The engineering focus is the seam between real-time audio and durable agent state: fail-closed authorization and routing, barge-in, and reconciling persisted history so it reflects only speech that was actually delivered. The source remains private.
Case study planned
Open-source maintenance · 2021–current
Creator and maintainer of a Neovim plugin for navigating and managing markdown-based repositories—notebooks, wikis, and knowledge bases. Five years of maintenance since 2021, including issue triage, community pull-request review, and backward-compatible releases across breaking upstream changes. The repository has 800+ GitHub stars.
Agent system & working paper · current
A formal conversation simulator connecting private BDI states to shared discourse structures. The white paper documents the architecture, operational semantics, and worked examples.
Evaluability taxonomy for summary faithfulness — a multi-author study for which I designed a taxonomy of ambiguity, vagueness, and other conditions that make factuality judgments ill-posed. I improved annotation quality through data analysis, annotator interviews, revised guidelines, and a Socratic review tool.
MDSEval — a meta-evaluation benchmark testing whether automatic methods agree with human assessment of multimodal dialogue summaries.
Therapy Docs — a tablet-optimized prototype for psychotherapy documentation, built around a practicing therapist's workflow: stylus input, streaming narrative generation, structured notes, and a mock/real API architecture. It was not launched as a product. Demo ↗
TinyScribe — browser-based transcription and speaker diarization running entirely client-side on small models (Whisper Tiny, WavLM). Demo ↗
Icon Thesaurus — compare semantically equivalent icons across 10 icon libraries; SVG sprite export. Demo ↗
TeXmagic — Neovim plugin selecting LaTeX build engines via magic comments (2021).
Linguistics research — experimental syntax (relative-clause extraction in English), Chamorro syntax and phonology, and research tooling. See the CV, the dissertation page, and analysis notebooks.
