OrioleTech LLC is a research-led software practice shaped by Stephan’s 25 years in technology. Recent work centers on local LLMs, practical AI systems, and security-conscious software. The projects below are Stephan’s independent work, not past client engagements.

Parallel Latent Reasoner is an experimental MLX research prototype exploring recurrent latent deliberation with pretrained Gemma models on Apple Silicon. Its repository records the current evidence and limits. View the project.

System 1 teaches bounded decisions from examples, checks a candidate before adoption, and runs the saved skill locally. It is not an LLM. View the project.

LatticeShadow is a macOS work-memory prototype with explicit capture choices and scoped assistant access. Its documentation distinguishes tested behavior from open validation work. View the project.

τ-Gate is an experimental Rust tool for analyzing dependency graphs. It explores a security problem; it does not guarantee that a dependency or system is safe. View the project.

Research and consulting inquiries are welcome. Security testing is limited to systems we own or are expressly authorized to assess.
