Built in 76 days. 57 API routes. 20 tables with row-level security on every one. 44 test suites. 71-check adversarial program. 19 scenarios, all held. Live $1.99 Amex charged and refunded 2026-07-09. Closed on the Alcove study. ### Terrasope Public dated ledger for low-cost mineral sensing. https://www.terrasope.com/program Entry 1, 2026-09-10. An AS7341 spectral sensor on a Raspberry Pi 5 proved. Counts doubled cleanly across eleven gain steps and scaled linearly with integration time. Capture did not run. Scored as a blank, with the reason stated. A 79-agent adversarial pre-flight found five code defects, all fixed. 217/217 selftest. Hardware program paused 2026-09-09. ### Alcove Hardware and research from the shop till. Independent corner stores often run on a single register. Alcove sat under Corner and started from that till. Inventory, payments, and a phone checkout were meant to extend it. On-device speech was for keepers working in their own language and for shoppers who need help. That speech stayed on the device and was encrypted there. A 3B language model and speech-to-text ran on a $250 Jetson-class device. End to end was 2.6 seconds. Grammar-constrained decoding cut 8.8 seconds to 2.9. The published study closed the program. https://alcoveretail.com ## Dieselgate University of Toronto Best Seminar, 2019. Defeat software satisfied the laboratory cycle and failed in ordinary driving. Manufacturers repeated that method through the Dieselgate emissions scandals. Cost-of-life calculations priced the surplus NOx once dispersal models had moved it from the tailpipe into the street. Algorithms identified whether the engine was on the test cycle or on the road. ## Consulting 2020 to 2024.
