TNT stands for "Temporal Native Technology." I build custom RAG infrastructure that solves problems most implementations quietly ignore.

Standard RAG retrieves from whatever you fed it and knows nothing about the world outside that corpus — except by accident. When it works, it looks impressive. When it fails, it fails silently: wrong context, stale information, confident nonsense. Most teams discover this the hard way, usually after they've built their pipeline around an approach that can't be fixed without rearchitecting.

I've spent 14 years in classification infrastructure (DetectRight — device detection for enterprises) and the last two years building TNT: a temporal computing kernel that treats time, context, and causality as structural primitives rather than afterthoughts. The first product from that work is Dewey, a hierarchical classification engine backed by 46+ curated taxonomies and 13,000+ cross-domain references. It gives your ingestion pipeline something no vector database or graph RAG setup provides: awareness of how your documents relate to the broader domain, not just to each other.

What this means in practice: more accurate classification at ingestion, dramatically less hallucination downstream, and retrieval that understands temporal context — when something was true, not just that it appeared in a document.

I work best with teams that have already built a RAG pipeline and found the ceiling — the point where adding more documents or tweaking prompts stops improving results. That's usually a structural problem, not a tuning problem, and it's what I solve.

Although this company was created to hold music copyrights for old Commodore 64 game themes (as well as to release remix CDs based on them, and to hold live events), it is also a catch-all corporate vehicle for IT Contracting and other non-Device-detection-related activities.

8-Bit Symphony is a venture with the goal of encouraging live performance of 8-bit music, with a special emphasis on the orchestral tracks featured in the first concert, and preserving 8-Bit music through protecting the publishing rights of 8-bit musicians for future generations.
