Background and guides

Steven Michael Barber's background includes radiation measurement and safety software at Pajarito Scientific (2000–2008), AMETEK ORTEC (2008–2020) and Mirion Technologies (2020–2026). That experience informs the radiation guides and calculators.

He is a software engineer and engineering manager, not a certified health physicist. The radiation tools and guides provide educational estimates from published sources; they are not signed off by a licensed professional. Each page explains its limits and appropriate use.

We use AI tools to help draft and review guides and check worked examples. Those checks can miss errors and are not independent professional review. Each guide lists its sources and update date. If you find an error, please tell us.

How we work

  • Plain prices. Every price is on our pricing page, in US dollars. Stripe is the merchant of record for our orders. Your first payment for a product is covered by our 14-day refund policy. Renewal payments and later purchases are excluded.
  • Your data stays yours. Each product has its own privacy policy that says what it stores and why. We don't sell personal information. See our privacy policy for this website.
  • We measure before we claim. Our CTDS Local AI Lab series reports how we test local AI models on our own hardware, with the raw numbers and the limits of each test.
  • Clear terms. Our website terms, each product's terms and our license terms for the extensions and templates are written to be read.
