Spectral scene explorer

A lightweight inspection surface for authored spectral scene outputs using browser-ready derivatives from raw spectral render assets.

The viewer connects RGB reference imagery, selected wavelength bands, sampled spectra, camera motion, and sensor framing so spectral outputs can be inspected without shipping the full processing stack.

• RGB reference frame: Tone-mapped reference view used to orient the spectral band passes.
• 450nm, 550nm, 680nm, and 850nm slices: Selected wavelength passes for inspecting atmosphere, material contrast, vegetation-adjacent response, and near-infrared behavior.
• Spectral cube: A compact browser-delivered spectral cube with sampled wavelength bins for local response plotting.

Spectral rendering pipeline

A pipeline linking procedural scenes, physical material libraries, modeled sensor capture, rendered passes, and browser-based analysis.

• Procedural terrain: AI and noise-derived depth maps establish varied scene geometry.
• Physical libraries: Refractive indices, emissivities, and reflectivities connect visual output to material behavior.
• Modeled capture: Lens, focal plane, and quantum-efficiency parameters preserve sensor framing.
• IDE and plots: Rendered assets, lighting files, and spectral plots are inspected in one workflow.

Spectral modules and sample outputs

A collection of rendered spectral videos, procedural PBR scenes, visible-band examples, animated assets, and radar-oriented emission experiments.

• Hyperspectral video and spectral passes: TSPI-style flight paths for virtually replaying real-world flyouts.
• Procedural PBR scenes: Procedural scene assembly makes varied synthetic spectral environments practical.
• Animated assets: Dynamic objects with complex features are rendered as spectral assets.
• Phased array radar emissions: Arbitrary radiation patterns on transmitter arrays, extendable across wavelengths and antenna geometries.

Proxim Intelligence

Cloud-deployed investigative workspace for structured case-state, retrieval-grounded analysis, and analyst-facing review.

The system keeps ingestion, retrieval, planning, output generation, and human review inside one coordinated workspace so complex investigative work remains traceable and inspectable.

• Structured case-state persistence: Entities, notes, leads, and outputs live in a durable workspace rather than loose prompt history.
• Retrieval-grounded orchestration: Planning and output stay tied to dynamic information access and reviewable context.
• Analyst-facing review surfaces: Reports and derived outputs can be inspected, revised, and traced within the same system.

Proxim Defense

Digital mission-analysis workbench for context-augmented scenario generation, simulation-backed comparison, and ranked alternatives.

The workbench treats mission analysis as a coordinated chain: enrich the ask with real context, generate structured alternatives, evaluate them through simulation, and keep results comparable enough to support decisions.

• Context-augmented scenario generation: Sparse prompts are expanded with doctrine, engineering references, and external artifacts before scenario generation begins.
• Simulation-linked evaluation: Generated variants can be pushed into repeatable analysis and compared on shared criteria.
• Operational comparison surfaces: Ranking, anomalies, and tradeoffs are made legible instead of buried in raw output.

AircraftInfo

Interactive aircraft encyclopedia combining registration lookup, aircraft-type context, media galleries, and adjacent aviation data.

Search, registration detail, type-level specifications, videos, photo galleries, 3D models, and flight context stay navigable inside one aviation reference surface.

• Entity-boundary discipline: Type-level information and registration-level information remain distinct.
• Source-aware media handling: Imagery is treated as attached evidence with provenance rather than decorative content.

Realtime Translator

Realtime speech translation routed through configurable recognition, translation, synthesis, and relay stages.

The project is a latency-budgeted pipeline problem: capture, endpointing, recognition, translation, synthesis, and playback have to coordinate tightly enough to feel conversational.

• Turn segmentation and endpointing: Speech must become actionable without cutting users off or stalling the loop.
• Runtime path selection: Different recognition and synthesis routes carry different quality, latency, and deployment tradeoffs.

DnD Player

Multi-agent D&D simulator where AI personas become party members, follow a DM-guided campaign, and stay in character over time.

Personas become characters, sessions accumulate state, a DM-like orchestration layer guides pacing, and portraits or summaries are captured as persistent outputs.

• Persona-to-character transformation: Upstream identity scaffolding gives the session a grounded starting point.
• Narrative orchestration layer: DM-style guidance coordinates player input, pacing, and action resolution.

Persona Analysis

A prototype for turning richly detailed user and operator personas into structured product insight.

The tool helps manage persona information volume and uses a language model to build robust profiles, surface recurring pain points, explore solution directions, and generate tailored messaging from that perspective.

Redefine innovation around efficient value.

Innovation work becomes more durable when the need is clear first, and strategy, structure, and execution are built only to the degree required to make that change real.

The framework separates durable value creation from novelty, solution bias, and organizational drift. Discovery clarifies the need, strategy shapes the path, and execution keeps the work attached to operational reality.

• Value-efficiency topology: A model for judging ideas by meaningful customer benefit relative to cost, complexity, and organizational burden.
• Discovery, strategy, and execution: The operating grammar used to move from validated need toward implementation.

Customer alignment is where value efficiency becomes visible.

Value efficiency becomes legible when the distance between actual need, perceived need, and delivered value is clear.

The model distinguishes what the customer actually needs, what stakeholders believe they need, and what the solution ultimately improves. MVP discipline is framed around efficient cost transition, not simply building less.

• Customer alignment map: Compares actual needs, perceived needs, and delivered value as a practical proxy for product-development efficiency.
• MVP viability ladder: Functional, reliable, usable, and delightful states define whether a solution can carry value independently.

Campaigns turn validated ideas into deliberate growth systems.

Campaigns connect domain capability, objective pursuit, and proof so individual wins accumulate into durable strategic movement.

The framework grows in two directions at once: horizontal domain capability and vertical objective strategy. Campaign rungs use IRAD, demos, partnerships, contracts, and products as deliberate steps in a longer ladder.

• Domain-objective ladder: Shows how capability, proof, and objective pursuit ladder into a longer strategic path.
• Open innovation leverage: External partners, broadcast search, licensing, and contractors are treated as structured campaign accelerators.

Governance keeps innovation evidence-based instead of personality-driven.

Formal pipeline logic, review cadence, culture, catechism, and investment discipline make innovation durable beyond individual advocacy.

Governance turns promising work into a repeatable, reviewable, strategically aligned operating system. It regulates what enters, what advances, what waits, and how long-horizon investment remains visible.

• Investment horizons framework: A tiered investment model for sustaining work, disruptive investment, and next-generation bets.
• Formal innovation pipeline: Inflow, selection, resourcing, and review become visible enough to reduce political drift.
