Projects
As I write more posts about what I'm working on (or finished, let's say) I'll link to them here.
Activity Title
I like to add creative titles to my Strava activities but creativity comes in bursts, so I created a website to store activity names and update "Afternoon Run" to something else when I upload a run. This was a fun excuse build a Django app, testdrive ChatGPT and other LLMs, and use the Strava API.
How Much Wes Anderson?
Have you spent hours scrolling through @accidentallywesanderson on Instagram? Do you think his unique aesthetic can quantified?
Of course it can and I did it! (I'm joking, to be clear -- he's great.) Check it out.
It was originally on Heroku and now on Flyio. How Much Wes?
The code for it is here.
Donut Reviews
Since 2014 I've been adding to a personal Facebook album called "Donut Selfies". When I visit a new place I look for a mom-and-pop donut shop, try out their wares, and take a bad selfie. I've been to over 100 donut shops all over the world! Click the "Donuts" link to see the website and the code is here. This project was an excuse to learn CSS, Bootstrap, and Javascript.
Image Classification Networks
I invested time studying Convolutional Neural Networks and wrote a Keras model replicating the results for the 2015 state-of-the-art Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition Residual Network.
Data Science Notebooks
I did some data exploration of Taxi trips in Beijing for Startup.ML.
There are neat graphics in the notebook.
