TAG Young Professional Technologist of the Year
September 19, 2015
I’m honored and humbled to share that I’ve been named the Technology Association of Georgia’s Young Professional Technologist of the Year. This recognition from TAG, one of the largest state technology associations in North America, is a testament to the incredible work we’re doing at Predikto and the vibrant tech community in Atlanta. About TAG Young Professionals The Technology Association of Ge...
Data Science Things Roundup #3
September 10, 2015
Time again for the 3rd edition of the data science things roundup, where I share a few data science things I’ve come across recently. Check out previous editions here and here. Self Organizing Maps with TensorFlow Google’s open sourcing of TensorFlow late last year caused a pretty big splash in the machine learning and data science communities, and since then a ton of tutorials, examples and proje...
Data Science Things Roundup #2
May 20, 2015
This is the second edition of the now-regular series of posts: Data Science Things Roundup, where I round up data science things (as you’d probably guessed). Last week we had a scikit-learn extension, a GUI framework for python CLIs and some writing about how kaggle winners won their competitions. This week is a bit more data-science-y, so dig in. Lifelines If you haven’t already checked out lifel...
Data Science Things Roundup #1
February 15, 2015
This is the first in a new series of posts. There are a few of these around the internet that I like, notably: ds_ldn’s Data Machina RJMetrics’ Data Science Roundup Jeremy Singer-Vine’s Data is Plural Mine will probably be way less consistent, so if you like this, then for sure subscribe to those as well. Anyway, here are a few things I’ve stumbled across related to data science or python recently...
Solving Inherent Stickiness in SaaS: The Power of Convexity
November 2, 2014
In the startup community, especially among SaaS companies, there’s frequent discussion about making products “sticky”. While Health IT and on-premises solutions are often cited as naturally sticky, we need to examine what stickiness really means and how to achieve it sustainably. Understanding Stickiness Traditionally, a product’s stickiness is measured by its barrier to exit. Health IT is conside...
G-G Surface Generation
June 19, 2012
Note: This post has been migrated from my old WanderTech blog. The original post contained example G-G surface plots which are currently missing. I’ll update this post if I can track down the original images. The G-G surface is a scatter plot showing all accelerations generated by a car or bike in the longitudinal (forward and back) and lateral (side to side) directions. They can be very useful i...
Introducing WanderDAQ: Versatile Arduino Data Acquisition
June 19, 2012
Note: This post has been migrated from my old WanderTech blog. The original post contained various product photos and diagrams which are currently missing. I’ll update this post if I can track down the original images. The WanderDAQ shield plugs directly into the Arduino Pro 3.3v board, and can collect data from any analog sensor in 2 different ways (Over serial or on a microSD card). The Pro’s 6...
Parameter Estimation with Virtual Elevation
June 19, 2012
Note: This post has been migrated from my old WanderTech blog. The original post contained various screenshots of the Virtual Elevation software which are currently missing. I’ll update this post if I can track down the original images. Virtual Elevation is a parameter estimation tool used to estimate constants associated with any dynamic system. Using Monte Carlo Methods and some proprietary opt...
Introducing AutoChung: Estimating Cycling Aerodynamics
June 15, 2012
Note: This post has been migrated from my old WanderTech blog. I have posted ad-nauseum in the past about parameter estimation, conference papers, bike parameter .exes and noise like that. It’s finally starting to be pretty concrete. There is now an overview of an early stage desktop application (maybe a webapp down the road) to estimate drag coefficient and coefficient of rolling resistance usin...
Miscellaneous MATLAB
June 10, 2012
Note: This post has been migrated from my old WanderTech blog. The original post contained various code snippets and examples that have been reformatted for this version. For whatever reason I have ended up doing a large amount of work in MATLAB. In school, with controls and simulation projects, prototyping for personal projects, and some finance work back in my glory days. Throughout all of it, ...
