From Bioreactors to Brier Scores: Building Model90, a Football Prediction Engine
What happens when a bioreactor engineer points his state-estimation toolkit at football. Model90 is a statistical forecasting engine for the 2026 World Cup and the major leagues, built on Dixon-Coles Poisson, Elo, xG and a calibrated meta-model. An honest look at how it works and what its Brier score really means.

I Built a Single-Cell RNA-seq Pipeline That Writes Its Own Report
Single-cell RNA sequencing is one of those techniques that generates a huge amount of data and then demands a huge amount of effort to interpret it. You run the sequencer, get a matrix of 20,000 genes by several thousand cells, and then spend the next several days (or weeks) figuring out what’s in there. I… Read More: I Built a Single-Cell RNA-seq Pipeline That Writes Its Own… »

Here’s how it works, what’s under the hood, and an honest take on what it’s good for. No hosted version yet; the code is on GitHub and a live instance is coming soon.
