Happy New Year 2026 After 6 weeks of focused work, I successfully deployed a production-grade molecular docking pipeline  (AutoDock Vina + RDKit/OpenMM stack) to Google Cloud Run , backed by Google Cloud Storage  and exposed through a clean API. This is a must-have for anyone who needs to dock compounds at scale without GPUs or Enterprise Hardware, or who uses Kubernetes and/or a DevOps team! Yes, this was built without : A DevOps team Kubernetes Persistent VMs GPUs Enterpris

As of today, I have quietly moved 478,808 virtual Compounds through a quantum-enhanced drug discovery machine in my back office in Oklahoma. Today I hit a nice milestone on the Citizen Scientist  page of QuantumCURE Pro™  and the numbers made me smile, so I’m sharing them. The Raw Numbers Compounds processed (Citizen Scientist):  478,808 Compounds that made it into the Golden List:  30 Hit rate: What does that mean? In industry, typical virtual screening or HTS hit rates ar

QuantumCURE Pro ™ screen shots - Round two of QuantumCURE pro™ software validation is officially in the books. Some people pick up fishing or golf in retirement. I enjoy those too, but for the last few years I’ve been teaching myself quantum computing, cheminformatics, and how to build full cancer drug discovery portals. Why? People ask me that a lot. My answer is simple: why not? I want to be useful, and I still have work to do. I sit in a cold Oklahoma garage, lift heavy

I saw an MIT study tonight about AI and job losses, and that is alarming. So,  AI can already replace % 11. 7% of US jobs....and workforce, but what the MIT “11.7%” really is: So, MIT + Oak Ridge built a model called the Iceberg Index  that looks at: 151M U.S. workers 900+ occupations 32,000+ skills They asked: “With AI that exists today , what fraction of current work tasks could AI technically do?” Their answer: AI is already capable of doing tasks equal to 11.7% of tot

So, I have created a nifty molecular docking engine that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with big-pharma platforms that cost $100K per year per license. Ok, I admit I don’t have the pedigree of a 20-year vendor track record, and I’m not a biologist, but I am  very good at building complex systems and making them actually run in the real world. For the past 30 years, I’ve shipped and operated mission-critical software for video, networking, and now quantum-enhanced simulation.

Let's Dock! It’s been a long, astonishing road since November 2024.That’s when I decided — half out of curiosity, half out of stubbornness — to see if I could connect a quantum random number generator  on my desk to a cloud-based drug discovery engine  that could actually help find new medicines. I didn’t have a corporate lab, a research team, or venture funding. I still don't although I am looking for some to expand and scale up this cool engine I have created. Back then, ju

What if cancer drug discovery wasn’t limited to billion-dollar pharma labs? From my back office in Oklahoma, I’ve built QuantumCURE  — a molecular docking and retrosynthesis platform that uses AI, open pipelines, and quantum entropy  to explore chemical spaces classical systems often miss. In this video, I explain: Why quantum randomness  changes the search space in simulations How docking with AutoDock Vina  and free protein prep tools (PDBFixer, PDB2PQR) works The role of A

Hey! You might be wondering — what’s really going on under the hood in the QuantumCURE software I’ve been building? What am I actually doing here? And honestly, what the hell is molecular docking anyway? First things first: if you scroll down and read my disclaimer, you’ll know exactly what I’m not  doing. I’m not a chemist. I’m not a physicist. I don’t work for big pharma. What I am  is a passionate software and systems designer. I understand the moving parts of drug discove
