Position paper on testing methodologies that surface security and usability concerns across the full demographic range of users — from children through to the elderly — rather than the typical young-adult convenience sample. Argues that age-stratified user studies expose security failure modes that single-cohort studies miss entirely.

Notes — Patrick Colm Audley
The alignment of two or more protein sequences provides a powerful guide in the prediction of the protein structure and in identifying key functional residues, however, the utility of any prediction is completely dependent on the accuracy of the alignment. In this paper we describe a suite of reference alignments derived from the comparison of protein three-dimensional structures together with evaluation measures and software that allow automatically generated alignments to be benchmarked. We test the OXBench benchmark suite on alignments generated by the AMPS multiple alignment method, then apply the suite to compare eight different multiple alignment algorithms. The benchmark shows the current state-of-the art for alignment accuracy and provides a baseline against which new alignment algorithms may be judged.

Do you know what a passthought is? We didn't either — until we recorded this podcast. To start off the new year with a bang, the Tech Buzzwords podcast from WhatIs.com tackles cognitive biometrics, a fast-growing new field used in authentication in the finance industry and beyond. To learn more about "cognometrics," Assistant Site Editor Alex Howard interviewed Patrick Audley, the CTO of bleeding-edge risk-adaptive software provider Cogneto.

In this WhatIs.com podcast you'll learn about FFIEC's attempt to modernize existing banking practices in the context of new online threats like phishing. Assistant Site Editor Alex Howard interviewed Patrick Audley, the CTO of risk-adaptive software provider Cogneto. Topics covered: how implementation of FFIEC recommendations changes the way customers use a bank; the difference between single-factor and multiple-factor authentication; whether a fingerprint, iris scanner, or voice-recognition system is sufficient under FFIEC guidance; how dynamic reporting decreases the incidence of fraud and what real-time risk analysis is; whether there are penalties for non-compliance; and where the majority of funds are stolen in phishing attacks.

ar-ramblings
A long-form walk through the Active Record pattern using PHP — written when ORM design was still a contested topic. Archive value as a teaching artefact.

colorout
Golang colour wrappers for prettifying spew dump output. Tiny utility; surprisingly handy.
core_data
Docker-managed PostgreSQL setup for local development — opinionated defaults, sensible volume layout, ready in one command. Built because every project re-litigates this.
Golang error-handling extensions with structured-error support. Stack-traceable, wrappable, JSON-serialisable.
git-ai-reporter
Python
Git-driven LLM analysis. Watched your commit history and kept CHANGELOG / NEWS files current automatically. Superseded by the broader policy-as-code approach in coding-ethos.
lru_cache
C++
Fast, thread-safe Least-Recently-Used cache as a C++ template, with a comprehensive unit-test suite. First written in 2004 and still useful — the kind of small library that just needs to work.
pyqa_lint
Opinionated quality-assurance harness for Python projects. A Typer-based CLI that bundled ruff, mypy, pytest-coverage, security scanners, and dependency audits behind one verb. Superseded by coding-ethos, which generalises the same idea to multi-language policy-as-code.

Danny Wood
A wide range of abilities and talents combined with strong leadership and coaching capabilities make Patrick a fantastic CTO. He is an essential part of our team at Strutta, and we are never worried about critical development operations considerations thanks to his presence. Additionally, Patrick is always enjoyable to work with and uses his excellent people skills to motivate teams and ensure the best result.

Patrick and I worked on mutual projects and he has been one of the fastest most reliable Integration Architects I have worked with providing smart solutions. Patrick's professionalism, great business sense and high technical skills make him lovable and highly respected among peers and managers and his talent is missed in Dominion. I hope that we'll have an opportunity to work together again in the future.

I have known Patrick for many years. I have had the opportunity to work with him on a project on one occasion. Like me, Patrick is a self starter with a keen eye for solutions. He is one of those brilliant lights and every company should have one.

Manu Kapoor
Patrick has an unparalleled sense of pragmatism when it comes to making software architecture choices. He possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of zero-day exploits and general security concerns. I've been grateful for his DevOps skills countless times in the past. It has been an educational experience working with him for the past three years.

Patrick is a combination of an impressive body of knowledge, hobbyist-like interest in technology, and acute business sense. He regularly found robust solutions to enhance Mobio's cloud platform, whilst keeping a keen eye on the ever-shifting business landscape of a fast-paced start-up. As a leader, he was always well-informed, enthusiastic, astute in giving advice, and was most respectful and encouraging. I enjoyed and learned much from working with Patrick, and strongly believe that he would add tremendous value to any team.

Patrick is truly one of a kind. Behind the pirate-meets-cowboy façade, lay a truly exceptional technical architect. His experience and more importantly, vision, empowered the development team to build cutting-edge software. It was a pleasure to work for Patrick.
Marketing, The Dinner Daily
Randy Corke
Patrick is a what I call a "visionary technologist" who sees the possibilities, not the reasons things can't be done. His rare combination of deep knowledge of a wide array of technologies, hands on technical expertise, and the ability to manage a team put it all together put him in a small class indeed. Add to that the ability to explain things in a way that laymen can understand which makes him incredibly valuable in a discussion with clients or prospects, and you can understand why I enjoyed working with him and recommend him highly.
Data Entry Clerk, Maxwell Geo Services
Sabrina Gould
Patrick was wonderful to work for: he was informative, his directions were clear, his communication was top-notch and his correspondence was always delivered in a timely fashion. I would definitely work with Patrick again.

A reproducible, from-first-principles method for discovering emergent knowledge-graph relations in high-order semantic vector spaces. Combines manifold learning, spectral analysis, and residual factorization to extract non-linear conceptual structures from embedded text corpora — yielding interpretable graphs, cosine-based similarity measures, and labelled semantic relations suitable for automated ontology construction. Implementation lives in the nonlinear-semantic-graphs repository.

If your team's standards live in a slide deck, your AI agents will violate them. coding-ethos compiles one YAML file into linter configs, git hooks, agent prompts, and an MCP server so the rules cannot drift between human and machine readers.

Standard GNNs are structurally constrained when mapping complex text attribution; linear aggregation in flat Euclidean space inevitably forces semantic drift. Looking to connect with researchers in TDA, geometric deep learning, and spectral graph theory.
