Max Everdrive

Max Everdrive is a sitcom I wrote in the early stages of the pandemic (mostly in April-May 2020). It's an attempt to capture the feeling of the time, alongside a more general exploration of science, pop-culture and hauntology. It's about a suicidally depressed talking dog searching for a new home after the destruction of Earth. You can download the scripts for all 6 episodes.

KOBRA: Fluctuating Elastic Rods for Slender Biological Macromolecules

KOBRA is a fluctuating Kirchoff elastic rod algorithm for performing dynamical simulations of slender biomolecules, such as alpha-helices and coiled-coils. It can support parameterisations of objects with arbitrary equilibrium shapes and inhomogeneous, anisotropic material parameters, and it can reach second-scale trajectories of quite large systems on modest workstation hardware. It's written in C++ and is released, for free, under the GPLv3 free software license. So far, KOBRA has been used to build models of Ndc80C, the SMC complex and Myosin-V, and may soon be deployed to study COVID-19 spike proteins. This page will contain links to the KOBRA publication, my PhD thesis, download links and installation instructions.

Hell Bent

Hell Bent is a tale of crime and redemption beyond life and death. This is a feature length screenplay for a supernatural comedy/crime movie. I wrote this in 2016 in a span of around three weeks, as a writing experiment. It is available under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Logline: An aging mobster concocts a plan to steal ambrosia from the gods, but ends up fighting to save his soul. Download Hell Bent

Music

Never Obsolete

  ‘Never Obsolete’, my second album, a compilation of music featuring old synthesizers and samples. From the quiet hiss of the Yamaha CS-80 to the crackle of a 4-channel Amiga module, Never Obsolete is a celebration of the old technology that helped to shape modern music. It’s also pay-what-you-want, open-source, and all of the proceeds go toward charities focused on archiving and preserving digital information and protecting software freedom.
