Why Catalase?
"So it's a hangover cure then?", said Brendan.
Well, uh, no, that wasn't why I called my company after the enzyme Catalase. I had other reasons.
SeqQuests
SeqQuests is a new collection of bioinformatics software. It is at an early stage.
- Optimised for Apple silicon: A fast Smith-Waterman amino acid sequence comparison.
- Dual architecture: Scriptable command-line utilities (python) with optional web-browser/API-endpoint interfaces
- ~20 twilight zone findings: These suggest database annotation updates.
About Catalase Systems
Catalase explores organizing principles in engineered and biological systems - patterns that repeat across scales and domains.

Catalase Systems Ltd
I founded my company, Catalase Systems Ltd, in 1999 - a solo structure that lets me move between companies and domains.
The founding insight: with careful choice of hardware and bespoke software, ordinary PCs could handle very large problems efficiently. Sorting, searching and comparison are the foundations of extracting insight from data.
Working in Ireland, I've validated software for ESA/NASA solar missions (SOHO, ISO), built high-speed data converters for telcos, EDA tools for FPGAs, broadcast television graphics and cell image analysis software.
AI has shifted what Catalase works on. I can now build software that would have taken too long before. SeqQuests, linked above, is the current example.
