I build data pipelines, research tools, and React interfaces.
currently employed atAgentic AI Services01 / About
I'm Malcolm Tucker (Mac), a computer science graduate from Rice University. I completed a B.S. in Computer Science, with a minor in Data Science, in May 2026.
02 / Skills
The languages, libraries, and database tools I use to collect a mess, make it reliable, and show someone what it means.
03 / Projects
A research archive built with a Rice team, then three systems I shipped: a server launcher, a database migration, and a stats pipeline.
01
Team research build · Center for the Impossible
With a Rice team sponsored by the Center for the Impossible, we turned 2,298 letters written to Whitley Strieber — accounts of claimed encounters with non-human intelligence — into an anonymized knowledge graph researchers can query.
GLiNER extracted beings, emotions, places, and vehicles. HippoRAG 2 retrieved evidence for plain-language questions, and a small interface cited the passages behind every answer.
Team: JP Babin, Grey Beaubien, Eugenia Nwogu, Auggie Schwarz, and Mac Tucker. Graduate advisor: Songyuan Sui.
01
Organize
Load the plain-text letters into a secure computing environment.
02
Schema
Label beings, emotions, places, vehicles, and the privacy fields that have to be redacted.
03
Graph
Each letter becomes a hub node, tied to extracted entities by labeled edges.
04
Analysis
Cluster near-duplicate entities and measure how the letters connect.
05
Interface
A researcher asks in plain language and gets an answer grounded in cited passages.
Actors
experiencer, witness
Beings
non-human agent, animal
Signals
sensory phenomenon, emotion
Time
time period, memory gap
Context
location, natural environment
Vehicles
human, non-human craft
Aftereffects
physical trace, interpretation
Privacy
phone, street address
Example queries

Replay of two answers from the research interface. This page does not query the letters. Identity fields were redacted before researchers saw the text.
Q: describe an event that took place in Iowa
An event that took place in Iowa involved an individual who experienced a vivid encounter on a hot, humid summer night in 1983-84. They were awakened by a whirring noise and saw an enormous disc-shaped object with a pewter color and a pale rose-mauve glow hovering above the tree-tops. The object directed a bright pulsating light toward the ground, illuminating the entire neighborhood. The individual then fell back asleep and later found themselves in a horseshoe-shaped building with large windows overlooking a dark, misty landscape filled with charred trees and a pale, eerie glow.
The research interface also returned cited passage keys for this answer. They are visible in the screenshot.

Co-founder & developer
SquidServers turns Minecraft server setup into five steps, so a group can be playing in under five minutes instead of fighting configuration screens.
I co-founded it and built the Electron and React app, plus the deployment path behind 5,000+ users and 5,000+ successful server launches.
03
Database reorganization & migration
Labshare’s Supabase database needed a new shape. I reworked the schema, migrated every existing record onto it, and kept backups plus a separate database branch so the change could be proven before it merged.
The live data ended up aligned with the revised model, and the next migration has a safer path than a single irreversible push.
Private system. No public demo.
04
Valorant stats, automated
This pipeline pulls player statistics, match histories, and rankings from the Valorant API, reshapes the JSON, and loads clean rows into SQLite.
A Discord bot sits on that database, so someone can ask for a player or a match in chat instead of opening a SQL client.
Private build. No public demo.
04 / Experience
Recent work, then the degree. Two of these are current.
