I'm Thomas O'Brien. I live on the Mississippi and make research tools.

I cofounded Glif and built apps for ConsenSys and Protocol Labs.

Lately I've been building things like Streams, an app that researches for you. Every night, deep in the digital backcountry, we look for gems you haven't found.

I helped write Machine learning for hypothesis generation in biology and medicine and built the domain translator that accompanies it.
