Applied scientist Rex W. Douglass (18 years in quantitative methods and applied ML, focused on LLM information extraction and machine vision) revealed he was laid off right after returning from paternity leave, and showcased his portfolio. Standout project: a home Jarvis that orchestrates agentic coding projects from idea to a fully finished repo. His site lists 30 projects including Foreman2 (industrial digital doubles from fixed cameras — train counting, speed measurement, fire/collision detection), auto-labeling industrial videos, narrative event extraction, COVID analytics, and georeferencing. He is open to remote full-time roles or project work.
