Tools I built outside the lab

Web apps built outside my research, all free, browser-based, and privacy-first. Each one has a blog post explaining the why and how behind it.

Separate from my research software — they're here so the science stays front and center on the main site. Click any card to open the app, read the blog post, or go straight to the source.

The AI on this page is product surface — generated explanations and training programs. The research-side machine learning lives with the science tools: the PlaqSeg plaque segmenter and the pooled AlphaFold 3 screen designer.

TailFiber a scientifically-grounded phage simulator

Dock to the right receptor. Dodge antibodies, complement, and macrophages. Outpace CRISPR. Evolve your tail fibers. Burst.

A small browser game that compresses the real biology of phage adsorption, infection timing, and host defense into something a microbiologist nods at and a 12-year-old loses an hour to. Built to double as outreach material — Darwin Day, K–12, conferences.
