--- title: "Selected work — Mario Marcolongo" description: "Mario Marcolongo: scientific fact-checking, data visualization and website operations. Paid work since 2023, accepted Atlas contributions and open-source tools." --- Selected work # Research, tools & contributions. Scientific source work, practical tools and accepted open-source contributions. I use AI tools extensively for implementation. My contributions include defining problems and requirements, inspecting behavior, testing, diagnosing failures and maintaining the resulting tools. Each case identifies external review and remaining validation limits.
