Understand it.
Improve it.
Make it real.

Independent research at the intersection of intelligence, information, and engineering.

A question. A model. A test.

Drantech Labs · Jeff DranBuilt on curiosity. Measured in practice.

Work worth
taking further.

I’m interested in problems where a better answer changes what people can do. These are the first directions I want to investigate.

Find the limit.
Then test it.

A promising idea needs a fair comparison, a repeatable experiment, and a reason to matter outside the lab.

How I approach the work
  1. Understand the baseline

    Read the current work. Find out what already exists and where it falls short.

  2. Build a test that can fail

    Measure the tradeoffs. Keep the inputs, assumptions, and limits visible.

  3. Follow the useful result

    Reproduce it. Talk to the people it could help. Decide what deserves the next experiment.

worth investigating?

I’m interested in useful questions, thoughtful collaborations, and the space between an idea and a working system.
