Hi, I'm Richard.

I'm a medical student, and I work in neuroscience research — mostly around deep brain stimulation and neuromodulation. Alongside that I spend a slightly unreasonable amount of time on software, useful tools, AI, and small systems that make ordinary work a little easier.

This site is closer to a public notebook than a portfolio. It's a place to keep notes, the tools that survived real use, and the projects I'm building — and to see how they connect. It's for accountability and memory more than reach.

Right now I'm building AURA Reader (papers and notes into audio worth listening to), The Radar (a personalized research briefing), UsageBar (a menu-bar tracker for AI usage), and a private finance dashboard. Most of it starts as a dictated note in Obsidian.

You can find the code on GitHub.
