I’m Troy Mallory, also known as CufeHaco, co-founder of Valen Systems. I invented Rubian and Kestowv and lead the technical direction of Project Valux.
My work covers language runtimes, operating systems and the execution and coordination work that determines how much useful computation a machine completes.
I’m Muskogee, and I started this work young. As part of a two-person High School High Tech team, I helped build a program to preserve and share Muskogee stories told by our elders.
The project needed accessible controls for people using the application.
Windows accessibility features existed as separate systems. Our public sources verify that Red Eagle Fenv built a fully functional Windows application that brought those features together, won Microsoft’s 2006 accessibility competition, traveled to Redmond, and received a $5,000 grant.
My firsthand account is that the Tribe later licensed the framework to Microsoft and that its architecture informed Windows Ease of Access. Valen Systems is working to recover the licensing records and contemporaneous technical documentation needed to independently establish that later part of the history.
The Red Eagle Fenv article separates that documented competition history from the later licensing account.
More recently, my builtin-tracking work was merged through JRuby PR 9174 and expanded across runtime fast paths by maintainer Charles Oliver Nutter. It shipped in JRuby 10.1+.
The public deployment record links the contribution to its upstream implementation.
In Rubian and Kestowv, I work on execution, persistent workspaces, inspection and service behavior. Workload comparisons need to check correct output, responsiveness and resource use together.
These systems provide the evolving foundation behind Arcturus, our predictive-maintenance product. Arcturus applies machine observations and operating history to investigations, inspections and maintenance follow-up.
Project Valux is the broader operating-system project. Its standalone boot, runtime and hardware milestones are separate from the capabilities available in hosted builds.
William leads company strategy and commercialization and created Core. We work together on the relationship between the interface, the operating foundation and the products a customer can evaluate.
