Work and research
- Distributed Systems. Resilient infrastructure that survives partitions, node loss, and everything else the network throws at it. A coordinator replicating state across a quorum. Includes Apache Cassandra, Raspberry Pi Cluster, Distributed Vital Sign Network, Fault Tolerance Research.
- Open Source. Commits propagate across repositories the way writes propagate across a cluster. Eventually consistent, openly governed. Includes Apache Cassandra, ODK-X, Community Contributions.
- Projects. Each project runs as a deployable service inside the cluster. Inspect a node for its manifest and health. Includes Buyam Marketplace, TribeHeat, RAIDAR, Raspberry Pi Cassandra Cluster, Distributed Agent Network.
- Xolix.ai Research Labs. An experimental network where autonomous agents discover one another, negotiate, and self-organize. Distributed-systems thinking applied to intelligence itself. Includes Agent Discovery, Semantic Databases, Autonomous Recovery, Intelligent Routing, Adaptive Replication.
- Talks & Conferences. Ideas as packets traveling through the global network. Each conference is a hop along the route. Includes PyData Boston, Community Over Code, ODSC AI East.
- Timeline. A career as an append-only log. Each milestone is a committed event, replicated forward in time. Includes Self-taught developer, Open-source contributor, Outreachy internship, Cassandra cluster project, Conference speaker, Xolix.ai launch.
Writing
- Replication Factor 3 on a Kitchen Table. What a ring of commodity Raspberry Pis taught me about quorum, failure, and trust.
- What Gossip Protocols Taught Me About Teams. Eventually-consistent humans, and why no single node should hold the whole truth.
- Autonomous Recovery: Systems That Heal Themselves. At Xolix.ai we are asking what it takes for a network of agents to recover without us.
