I am working on the next version of Contextualise, a personal knowledge management application. Knowledge management is a crowded space. My contribution to the plethora of approaches and applications in this space is based on a combination of semantic technologies, vector search and language model workflows.

My latest blog post is Three.js Development in 2023.
I contribute to and maintain Contextualise, TopicDB and a couple of other open source projects. I also have several published Python packages on PyPI. Expect many of my projects to be related to semantic technologies, data pipelines and large language models.
Technologies I enjoy working with, include:
- Topic maps describing knowledge structures and associating them with information resources
- Labeled property graphs including (but, not limited to) Apache TinkerPop graph computing framework together with Gremlin query language
- Data analysis with data pipelines (often) using a combination of Apache Airflow, Apache Spark and Apache Superset
- Python programming language
- FastAPI web framework for building APIs
- Flask web framework
Contextualise Projects
Contextualise Platform
Contextualise is a software platform that enables users to transform relevant data into meaningful insights, leveraging concepts they already understand. It simplifies complex information, making it easier to comprehend and explore.
Reveal.js-Based Knowledge Paths
Extending Contextualise to include a reveal.js-based presentation mode to supplement the existing knowledge path feature.
Mixing Art and Code to Build Engaging Web Experiences
Development of web content models, concepts, creation processes and tools: mix art and code to build interactive, engaging web experiences
Story Technologies
Storytelling With Interactive Visualisation of Semantic Events
Developing a combined Angular and Pixi.js-based web application —for storytelling purposes— that allows a user to navigate between a collection of narrative events. Each event has an accompanying 2.5D, isometric environment with participants and items that can be interacted with. Interactions include (but, are not limited to) displaying more information about the selected object and high-lighting a set of objects by tag. Narratives are Contextualise topic maps.
