Open Source & Research

nt-petri-net

Graph-based concurrent middleware in Rust — the reference implementation of the non-deterministic transitioning Petri net formalism. Ships with PlotMux, a realtime debugging application that multiplexes 2D plots, images, and text out of a running net so bottlenecks are visible per transition.

Rust13 stars MITConcurrency middleware

petri_net_interpreter

Interprets a Petri net described in DOT and emits corresponding C/C++ templates targeting an arbitrary operating system — the earlier, code-generation approach to the same problem.

Python4 stars Code generationArchived

incognito

Open source, security-focused, distributed social media platform. Blockchain-backed store with a CLI and web front end, built in Go with CI.

Go2 stars MITDistributed systems

android_robotics

Turns second-hand Android phones into low-cost robotics platforms — a chrooted Ubuntu image running on-device, exposing the phone's camera, IMU, and GPS. Built to cut cost and development time for experimental robots at the University of Florida Machine Intelligence Laboratory.
