Block 17: Contraband Empire
An isometric risk-management logistics game concept built around covert routes, heat, inspections, co-opted buildings and systemic network exposure.
Research software portfolio
Research tools, workflow systems and interactive methods.
A curated view of the systems behind my academic and technical work: ProtocolDock, browser-based task delivery, LaTeX writing infrastructure, participant workflows, governance records, data exports and analysis support.
Core technical identity
Research software that follows the actual research workflow
The portfolio is organised around the same idea that drives ProtocolDock: research work should not be split across scattered documents, spreadsheets, task links, email threads, consent files, and fragile exports.
Full-stack platform development
React, Vite, Tailwind, Node, Express, Prisma, PostgreSQL, authentication, admin tooling and deployment planning.
Research workflow design
Study setup, participant routes, consent, forms, eligibility screening, bookings, exports, versioning and governance records.
Academic writing infrastructure
In-browser LaTeX projects, compilation, citations, source management, comments, version history and PDF output.
Featured build
ProtocolDock
ProtocolDock is the main software artefact: a hosted research workspace for study management, writing, participant workflows, task delivery, governance and structured research administration.

What it demonstrates
ProtocolDock demonstrates end-to-end software design in a research context: database modelling, role-based access, public participant routes, researcher dashboards, writing infrastructure, versioning, exports and admin controls.
- Study-owned signup flows with consent, forms, eligibility and participant routes.
- JavaScript task builder for self-contained browser-based research tasks.
- Usage-limited free data collection for small projects, pilots and early-stage work.
- LaTeX writing environment with compile routes, citations, assets, source ZIP and version history.
- Governance and operational records that remain attached to the project.
Capabilities
Portfolio areas
Study and participant workflow
Structured study records, participant-facing routes, consent linkage, eligibility screening, branching forms, booking records and exports.
JavaScript task builder
Browser-based task delivery intended to make smaller studies and pilot tasks possible without stitching together external tools.
ProtocolDock Write
LaTeX project creation, import, source editing, citations, assets, PDF compilation, comments, reviewer routes and version history.
Governance infrastructure
Ethics records, consent versions, roles, audit trails, maintenance notices, institutional seat structures and admin visibility.
Experimental demos
Interactive research demos that translate psychophysics, gaze timing and visual instability into accessible browser experiences.
Research analysis tooling
Eye-tracking, scanpath, fixation, saccade, trial-quality and export workflows developed around actual research datasets.
Why this matters
The software work is part of the research profile
My research asks how people make structured judgements from brief perceptual evidence. My software work has a parallel concern: how researchers manage structured evidence across time, files, participants, documents, and governance records.
That overlap is the point. The same person building experimental tasks, writing tools and data exports is also the person who has to understand why the workflow must be defensible later.
