worknoun

Things built on purpose: Gaussian splats you can play with, tools for words, and tools for the people and agents who work with them.

Splashery

Splats you can play with.

A toy box of 3D Gaussian splats that runs entirely in the browser. Pick a toy, spin it, poke it, splash paint on it, drop it, watch it fall apart and come back, then share it as a link, a GIF or a video.

grooph

Loop graphs for coding agents.

Draw who builds, who checks, where a person decides and when the work stops. grooph checks that every loop names a stop, then compiles the graph into a prompt package for Claude Code. It never runs an agent and never calls a model.

An anagram of “Anagrams.” Also Latin for the great art.

researchnoun

What I’m trying to find out, roughly in the order I’d bring it up at dinner.

I started the MS program in computer science at the University of Cincinnati in the fall of 2025. My thesis advisor is Dr. Yizong Cheng.

My research interests are scientific visualization, computer graphics, digital media, software engineering and information retrieval. Splashery, my Gaussian splat playground, is where I explore the first three.
