Things I'm building
I'm Tim, a software engineer in London. I build tools for AI agents, research experiments on how language models behave, and the occasional synth module. These are write-ups of projects once they're done.
-
Rewire Bio: which biological model should you use?
A benchmark database, open benchmarks and articles on machine learning in genomics, proteins and drug discovery, all linked to their evidence.
-
Agentic Verification: checking whether tests would catch a bug
A Claude Code plugin that audits a pytest suite for untested behaviour, flaky tests and misleading coverage, with a pre-registered study behind it.
-
Software patterns from biology
A catalogue of eight biological coordination mechanisms translated into software patterns, each with citations, diagrams and runnable Python.
-
Genomics MCP: real genomic data for AI agents, with sources
An MCP server that lets an agent find public genomic datasets, read a bounded region of a file without downloading it, and look up variants and genes, recording where every value came from.
-
Wiggle Room: 45 modules for VCV Rack
A collection of physical-modelling synths, effects, sequencers and utilities for the VCV Rack modular synth, mostly built with Faust.
-
drill-me: a Claude Code tutor that quizzes you
A plugin that turns Claude into a tutor with spaced repetition and a memory of what you got wrong. Version 1.0.1 is out.
-
Cognitive Atlas: the map inside a language model's distance estimates
I asked a model for the distance between every pair of 100 capitals, in three languages, and rebuilt the world map its answers imply.
