Hey gang! 👋 I’m an insatiable learner, ML wonk, and product guy working on a low-code declarative framework for prescriptive analytics with my longtime friend and role model @Ryan Atallah. Having each founded/sold companies in this space previously, we’ve both been passionate about goals like “offloading cognition to perception” (Hullman & Kayongo) and “data applications that enhance human cognition” (nos) for literally as long as we can remember… 🤓 Both being engineers who started out as designers, @stevekrouse told us this was the perfect place to find likeminded folks! 🖖 We’re interested in highly-abstracted or novel approaches to constrained optimization (MIP, MINLP, statistical) and related operations research problems; visual analytics/IVA with direct manipulation & linked brushing; and techniques for modeling “_assumptions_ as first-class citizens” in analytics & simulation settings. 🧮 Outside of our current work, we’re hobbyhorsically fascinated by explorable explanations, machine-assisted creativity, etc etc. 🙂 Looking forward to meeting more of you, and to learning from all of you! 🙏 P.S. Although it’s not relevant to my Ryan/my work on Spindle, here’s an HC simulator in the browser I’ve been enjoying lately, for all of us HyperCard hypercard nostalgiacs: hypercardsimulator.com (you can also convert old HyperCard stacks into JS/JSON with Dan’s ConvertHCStack)

Neat! hypercard In case there's helpful code here https://github.com/moltenform/vipercard/
