Rye Howard-Stone builds evidence-grade AI and data systems for large, messy corpora.

I build systems for data that is too large, noisy, or high-stakes to reason through by hand — public records, scientific literature, microbiome genomes, sequencing reads — turning it into searchable, auditable software and plain-English insight.

Large works

Systems that make difficult evidence usable.

Research software

Bioinformatics roots, generalist software reach.

Tools and experiments

Interfaces for exploring, testing, and running AI locally.

pointcloud-atlas: a deck.gl viewer rendering a million-point embedding cloud
WebGL corpus exploration

pointcloud-atlas

A dataset-agnostic deck.gl viewer for embedding clouds with binary buffers, lasso selection, filters, hover cards, thumbnails, and shareable state.

Runs in production at 1.3M+ points and 2.4M+ edges, without forcing each dataset into a bespoke UI.

testScout: natural-language, AI-vision end-to-end web testing with stable element IDs
AI-assisted software testing

testScout

Natural-language, end-to-end web testing driven by AI vision. A Set-of-Marks approach targets stable element IDs instead of brittle CSS selectors, explores autonomously, and writes tests in plain English.

Every run keeps an audit trail: screenshots, prompts, decisions, network, and console logs.

qwen-local's browser chat UI running Qwen3 against a local Ollama endpoint
Local AI tooling

qwen-local

One script to run Qwen3 locally with Ollama, a browser chat UI, and optional Claude Code integration through a local API endpoint.

Practical local-model setup for offline experimentation and lower-cost AI workflows.
