Projects I'm Actively Building
You might have attended one of my talks, seen me demo at a booth, or copped a rant about whatever I'm experimenting with at the time. If you've spoken to me more than once, you might think I work on many random different things and that I'm incoherent. You're not wrong — and that summarises me pretty accurately.
For the past couple of years, as I've learned to wield AI, I've used it to experiment and build across Cloud and apps — and to ramp up fast in domains I had little experience in: IoT, embedded systems, AI and robotics.
