About
Hi, I'm Brock. I'm a neuroscientist.
Over the past decade, I've used biochemistry, genetics, 3-D organoids, multimodal neuroimaging, and LLMs to research the brains of ants, zebrafish, mice, and humans. Nowadays, I'm a Postdoctoral Scholar at UC Irvine where I use multimodal neuroimaging to study the effects of ibogaine and build research tools for labs around the world.
Brock Consulting LLC is the umbrella business that I built around that work. I design and ship custom applications, data pipelines, and research tools for students, labs, investigators, and early-stage companies. My flagship product is Navigator.
I love solving challenging technical problems, and I'm always open to helping forward-thinking people and organizations.

What I Do
Full-stack web apps, desktop tools, and custom software built to spec. From a quick internal utility to a production platform, designed and shipped end to end for labs, investigators, and early-stage companies.
Data pipelines, machine learning, and visualization. Reproducible workflows and custom analysis tooling built around your data so it's clean, queryable, and ready to use.
My flagship product: a semantic layer for any database with optional LLM functionality. Analysis, plotting, statistics, and research workflow support built on top.
Engagement models: hourly development, project-based contracts, retainers, and lab partnerships through Brock Consulting LLC; plus individual subscriptions, lab licenses, enterprise contracts, and platform integrations for Navigator.
Featured Projects
Semantic Data Layer
A semantic layer for any database with optional LLM functionality. Analysis, plotting, and statistics built in, and when you do switch the LLM features on, the model never sees your data.
