SOFTWARE
Compiled Language Models (CLM)
Bridging the gap between GPU-less AI and LLMs, compiled language models achieve LLM token prediction without the need of GPUs or Hyperscaler data centers. To date, the highest benchmark is 100,078,893 tokens compiled into a single 264MB B-tree state engine with a 99.98% graph saturation.
SOFTWARE
CIYA

CIYA is a GPU-less storage + logic layer for AI. Acting as the front-brain for any agent, LLM or GPU-less AI, it allows users to get the maximum benefits of AI, while spending 91.53% less on tokens, and achieving a full state resolution of 1 million tokens in 200ms or less on-prem or on-robot. Additionally in air-gapped 3g environments, CIYA achieves a full state resolution of 1 million tokens in just under 20 seconds. Check out a demo of CIYA generating a simple suggestion app here

SPATIAL COMPUTING
Spatial Orchestration Engine & Controller
Dark Night Halloween World @ Bald Hill Amphitheater (Farmingville, NY)
Real-time SMS state machine & spatial orchestration engine that altered physical spaces in response to user intent.

Engineered a software / hardware architecture that dynamically altered a physical maze environment in real time. The system resolved intent from incoming SMS messages into state transitions that drove actuators, environmental & actor cues and dynamically routed patron flow using solenoid door latch mechanisms.

Netwrks, LLC.
Netwrks was pop-up-video for Film + TV. Users could submit content to custom playlists that would sit on a layer above a video track, and the community could replay those tracks to get a curated, new media experience for a community-loved property.

SPATIAL COMPUTING
Acoustic Telemetry & Dynamic Spatial Adaptation
From Beyond @ USDAN (Wheatley Heights, NY)
Spatial feedback loop using directional acoustic sensing as a non-invasive proxy to modulate physical environmental triggers.

Shotgun microphone arrays measured real-time sound-pressure variance inside participant car interiors during a contactless drive-in installation. Decibel telemetry was used to gauge participant arousal, and drove an automated state engine that changed lighting, audio / visual and live performer cues in real time.

HARDWARE
Monolithic Modular Synthesizer & Open Interactive Enclosure
A Ship In The Woods Festival @ Felicita County Park (Escondido, CA)
A custom, one-of-a-kind modular synthesizer was build, placed on a table inside a large, monolithic PVC enclosure.

Constructed a multi-module analog modular synthesizer made from sourced vintage ICs & components. Designed to be a zero-friction, open-access interface, festival attendees were invited to manipulate control voltages, patch points, and signal paths to explore collective acoustic feedback loops.

Dead of Night: MK Ultra
Built a full-body sensory-isolation enclosure for a multi-day live installation. Occupants were cut off from the outside environment while thermal, IR, kinetic & acoustic telemetry drove spatial audio, lighting & thermal variance in real time. The installation was a time-limited public event intended to provoke fear & isolation, the system was an instrument for watching how a body adapts when the room answers it.
