While I seek employment this is a great time to get all these projects out of my head and into the 'IRL'!
I enjoy asking: how can we record, transmit, store, process, validate and present data? And why would we even do that?!
Most recently I've been blown away by:
- the power of modern computers (2025-> )
- text-based data analysis by machine
- EdgeAI to control graphics libraries
I'm exploring these ideas with Discord_Philosopher — creating data through autonomous LLM debate — and Discord_Airflow — to analyse.
Join me as I explore technologies through building my solutions!
