Loribel Labs is the technical project identity of **Gregory Borelli** , a software engineer, educator, and entrepreneur. It brings together hands-on development, experimentation, and a long-standing interest in turning structured information into useful applications. 01 ### Clarity Make systems, data, and results easier to understand. 02 ### Practicality Focus on real problems and useful outcomes. 03 ### Reuse Build foundations that support different workflows and interfaces. 04 ### Openness Favor transparent approaches, portable formats, and open source. 05 ### Human control Use automation and AI to support understanding and decision-making. 02 / Featured project ## A clearer picture of your data. One active open-source project. A practical place to start. ### Tabalyst #### Understand your data before you build on it. An open-source Python toolkit for unfamiliar structured data. Discover what a file contains, understand its patterns, and see what needs attention. Tabalyst Report turns CSV, Excel, JSON, and JSONL files into an interactive HTML report and a structured JSON profile. Analysis runs on your machine.

On the roadmap: [Tabalyst Explore](https://tabalyst.com/explore/) and [Tabalyst Online](https://tabalyst.com/online/) . Both are coming soon. 03 / The approach ## From structure to understanding. From understanding to action. Across technologies and generations of software, the same engineering idea keeps coming back: organize information well, then build reliable ways to use it. - 01 / STRUCTURE ### Organize the information. Define clear data structures and meaningful metadata. Give complexity a shape you can work with. - 02 / UNDERSTAND ### Make the results readable. Turn machine-readable outputs into interfaces people can inspect, question, and understand. - 03 / ACT ### Build on solid foundations. Reuse common components, automate repetitive steps, and integrate AI thoughtfully into useful workflows. The technology matters. So does what people can understand and accomplish with it. Keep the human in control. B O R E L L I SAME LETTERS. A NEW PERSPECTIVE. L O R I B E L A name with roots in building software. 04 / The story ## A technical identity with a history. **Loribel is an anagram of Borelli.** The name goes back to Gregory's earlier software and Web projects, including work with Java, XML, structured data, reusable frameworks, and generated Web experiences. It reflects a long-running interest in software architecture, experimentation, automation, and the craft of building things that last. Today, **Loribel Labs** gives that history a clear home for new technical projects, starting with Tabalyst. 05 / Behind Loribel ## Gregory Borelli Software engineer · Educator · Entrepreneur **30+** years in software and technology Gregory has worked in software development, architecture, and technical leadership. Alongside that engineering background, he teaches technology and applied AI, supports entrepreneurs and professionals, and continues to build his own software products. **Loribel Labs represents the hands-on engineering side of that work:** designing useful systems, testing ideas, and turning technical experience into practical tools.
