Software

Projects

Open-source, agent-driven tools that turn my hydrology research into software anyone can run. I design the architecture, write the engines, and ship the interfaces, from a live map you draw on to natural-language runtimes that drive industrial modelling software end-to-end.

The ecosystem

The Agentic Hydrology Platform

One natural-language interface over hydrological modelling, across river basins, cities, and the countryside. You describe the goal in plain language; an agentic runtime selects the data, picks the right engine, runs the simulation, and explains the result. Every step is deterministic, audited, and reproducible. The platform composes the projects below into a single workflow.

The pieces I built

Agentic SWMM

My signature open-source project: a verification-first workflow that drives EPA SWMM end-to-end with agent skills and the Model Context Protocol. Every run is auditable and reproducible, with provenance tracking and modelling memory. Try it live on the Greenwich Peninsula, end to end in the browser: SWMManywhere synthesis → swmm5 run → audit → render. Published in AI for Engineering (2026).

SWMMCanada

Draw a boundary anywhere in Canada and build a ready-to-run EPA SWMM model straight from Canadian open data: real municipal storm networks for 7 cities, synthesized networks elsewhere. React + MapLibre front end, Python + FastAPI back end.

Agentic MIKE+

A headless, natural-language automation layer for DHI MIKE+. Agents inspect, edit, run, and visualize hydraulic models without ever opening the GUI. Worker-isolated, deterministic, and license-flexible (read & plot run license-free).

Basin forecasting · deep learning

LSTM streamflow engine

A data-driven rainfall-runoff model that learns long-range dependencies (snowpack, soil moisture, groundwater) to forecast catchment streamflow and floods. Reaches NSE ≈ 0.87 on held-out test years. Ships inside the platform.
