2025to 2026 · Daedalus

Orpheus: a knowledge graph you can walk around in

Solo, end to end: four conflicting public APIs reconciled onto Wikidata QIDs into one PostgreSQL schema; 39,080 pre-generated rooms at launch, served as pure static files (43,000 today); an AI agent auditing the result with its reasoning logged; and, since August, an oracle over the graph that ships with its evaluation published. Live at orpheus.rocks.

Orpheus itself: nine months from the first room to a live site, solo.
An Orpheus artist room: styles, related artists and a discography for one musician, all on one page.
2018to 2020 · KnowBe4, via Telepathy Labs

Security-awareness ML at eight-million-user scale

Deep-neural-network risk scoring for roughly eight million users of KnowBe4’s security-awareness platform, deployed on SageMaker. Granted patent on the approach (US 10,673,876).

Patented, and in production for eight million users.
A t-SNE map of user feature data, separating into clusters by security-training and phishing history.
2008Fortune 500 insurer

Medicare market simulation

Agent-based model of a national insurance market, validated against years of historical market data, used to steer plan design.

CFO-credited “100:1 return”; #6 → #2 in the market.
Simulated Medicare plan choices, colored by plan type, across seven consumer segments.
2007Icosystem, own product

Nymbler: evolutionary baby-name explorer

An interactive-evolution recommender that learned your taste in names as you browsed, built as Icosystem’s own product rather than for a client.

A Time top-50 website; US Patent 8,725,755.
The Nymbler interface: six seed names at the top, generated suggestions below, favorites down the side.
2006La Poste

Interactive-evolution route design for the French postal service

Led route-construction software built on interactive evolutionary methods through its national rollout, and presented it in French to the national technical team.

Deployed in every French post office; ran for a decade.
Postal delivery routes drawn in color over the street map of a French town.
