"description": "AI engineer and lead maintainer of Semantica. I left my job to focus entirely on this project after recognising a clear and unmet need in the open-source ecosystem: developers building AI systems had no solid, production-ready framework for semantic reasoning, knowledge graphs, and explainable decision tracking.\n\nOver the past year I have shipped 29 production-ready modules, 50+ Jupyter notebook tutorials, integrations with FAISS, Neo4j, AWS Neptune, Apache AGE, and Docling, and a complete W3C PROV-O compliant provenance layer — all without any external funding. Everything has been self-funded.\n\nThis grant would allow me to continue as lead maintainer for 12 months while bringing in part-time contributors — engineers, a technical writer, and domain experts — to scale the project beyond what a single person can sustain. The goal is to transition Semantica from a solo project into a small, productive open-source team.",

"description": "MIT-licensed Python framework providing the semantic intelligence layer that AI applications are missing — bridging raw text and trustworthy, explainable AI.\n\nProblem: Modern RAG pipelines and agents treat knowledge as bags of text chunks with no understanding of entities, relationships, or rules. In high-stakes domains (healthcare, finance, legal, cybersecurity) this produces black-box answers that cannot be explained, audited, or trusted.\n\nWhat Semantica provides:\n• Universal ingestion — 50+ formats (PDF, DOCX, HTML, CSV, databases, APIs)\n• Semantic extraction — NER, relationship extraction, event detection\n• Knowledge graph construction — conflict detection, deduplication, entity resolution\n• Automatic ontology generation — 6-stage LLM pipeline producing OWL ontologies\n• GraphRAG — hybrid vector + graph retrieval for 30%+ accuracy gains over plain RAG\n• Decision tracking — precedent search, causal analysis, policy compliance\n• Provenance — W3C PROV-O compliant lineage from source document to AI response\n• Change management — versioned knowledge graphs with SHA-256 integrity verification\n\nNot a LangChain wrapper. The semantic layer that sits beneath your agents and integrates with LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, and CrewAI.\n\nTraction: 29 production-ready modules, 50+ tutorial notebooks, 14 domain cookbooks (biomedical, finance, cybersecurity, supply chain, and more). MIT-licensed. Self-funded for over a year.",
