This is a running record, so people and agents can see what I did this year without piecing it together from profiles. I'll update it when the year ends.
BetterOff
BetterOff was the main work. It is a household financial workspace that reconciles banks, brokerages, exchanges, and self-custody wallets in one ledger. Agents can read the ledger and propose corrections, and the household approves them.
Research
- January: Classifying word reversal in cyclic scales, on symmetry in musical systems.
- June: PolicyStrata, a paper on policy drift in LLM data agents. It was accepted for an IEEE ISSRE 2026 Industry Track talk and demonstration.
Open source
Through Raintree Technology, I published and maintained DocPull, HIG Doctor, and PolicyStrata.
