Projects by Talley

Things I build to find out how they work.

Curious Datum is my workbench: climate risk models, websites, a game and the 3D characters that go in it. Each project here is something I wanted to understand by making it.

Climate risk explorer

An interactive map of what hurricanes and floods could cost, built on CLIMADA, ETH Zurich's open-source risk model. Phase 1 runs the full model from start to finish on South Florida demo data, today and under a 2050 climate scenario.

$289Mexpected loss per year

$13.7B1-in-100-year storm

+1.7%yearly loss by 2050 (RCP4.5)

Demo numbers from a 50-point sample portfolio. They test the pipeline and aren't a real estimate for Florida.

Next: a batch run across Gulf and Atlantic states, then the live map on this page. Pick a hazard, a place and a scenario, and see the expected loss.

Character models and animation

Characters for the RPG, modeled and animated in Blender. Much of it is driven through Blender's Python API over an MCP connection.

About

Hi, I'm Talley.

I build things to learn how they work: risk models, small web apps, game systems and the characters that live in them.

Most of my work starts in Python. I'm drawn to projects where messy inputs turn into something you can see and click.
