Experiments

Questions I answer by building the page

These are not products and not papers. Each one started as a question I wanted a checkable answer to, and became a small site with its own design, its own data, and its own tests. They stay live as long as the data behind them does.

Date the war
Experiment · conflict · timelines

Date the war

A globe, or a flat map, of the sourced record since 1900, growing by a daily job. Pick the day you think a world war began and see what that dating makes you include.

A black-and-white globe with every sourced event since 1900, a timeline you can narrow to a day, a month or a year and play forward, seven impact groups, a mobilization layer that shows what a war economy looks like before anyone calls it one, and a stress layer for food, water, oil, people and the movements between them. The page never declares a third world war. It hands you the marker.

RT Lab
Experiment · materials · superconductivity

RT Lab

A workbench for one bet on a room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor: an ordered hydrogen-bearing solid held together by a light-element framework. It maps what 293 K would demand, then lists the experiments that could kill the idea.

Six tabs. A pairing model you can push toward 293 K, a Tc landscape computed on this site's own Raspberry Pi with the toolkit's Eliashberg solver, atomic starting cells for a published hydride benchmark, a staged Quantum ESPRESSO pipeline, six experiments designed to reject the hypothesis, and the evidence kept apart from the assumptions. No material is claimed. Every number is a model output and says so.

Sea Levels
Data · climate

Sea Levels

A personal tracker for where the oceans are changing: live tide gauges, the satellite record, and what the models project.

A live dashboard built on public ocean data: NOAA tide gauges queried straight from the browser, an along-coast panel that watches El Niño's coastally trapped waves arrive at the gauges, the satellite altimetry record since 1993, the sea level budget, and IPCC AR6 projections, all in dependency-free SVG charts.

Downtown Miami Flood Risk
Data · climate

Downtown Miami Flood Risk

A screening-level, provenance-tagged flood-risk study of downtown Miami, with a 3D visualiser of the terrain, the aquifer, and 2,594 injection wells.

The local companion to my global Sea Levels tracker: LiDAR terrain, drainage, groundwater, and insurance records for Brickell through Edgewater, assembled into an interactive 3D visualiser, a live upstream ice monitor, and a plain-language guide, with every inferred value tagged as inferred.

Beverage Tier Maker
Experiment · a small argument

Beverage Tier Maker

Rank eighty-six drinks into eight tiers, share the link, and find out who in your life puts room-temperature water above chocolate milk.

A drag-and-drop tier list for beverages with share links that encode the whole board in the URL, a PNG export drawn on canvas, and one obvious S-tier answer. The first page on this site with its own test suite.

Heat Threshold
Agentic AI · safety

Heat Threshold

The ambitious, multi-agent heat-safety dashboard I built at the Google I/O hackathon, and why it was the wrong thing.

A Gemini-driven, multi-agent environmental-logistics and heat-safety scheduler: WBGT risk flags, route planning, and a GO/NO-GO verdict for outdoor activity. A real working build, and the wrong answer to the question I actually cared about.
