“Multitasking is the ability to screw up everything simultaneously”
-Jeremy Clarkson
Still, it is much more fun for me to try to do a bunch of things all at once. Thanks to my education, it seems to be drilled into my head to be working on seven different projects all at once. I have accepted this as the new norm - and even though it is summer now, I seemingly have created this environment for myself all over again. Between learning Spanish, to messing around with SQL, to machine learning in Python, to making this website, I like to keep busy with a ton of projects. I hate the feeling of going into an environment with zero clue of what I am doing, which often drives my urge to know a little bit about everything. Below are the other items I have worked with or are currently working with in school, in my work, or in my personal life. Most of the images are clickable, and will take you to downloads with my projects. Naturally, some are still a work in progress.
Blackjack in C# was a fun project I did very recently to see if I could still code in C languages. I would like to change this to a trainer designed around basic strategy.
I have used Tableau in various classes. Because of the price, I have unfortunately not been able to practice it outside an education enviornment.
I just had the opportunity to learn Hadoop, MapReduce, and more big data technologies in a recent class I took at IU. The screenshots here are from the coursework - since this is copyrighted, I can only include so much. This serves as more of a “proof of knowledge” than anything.
I might be in way over my head with this project, but I am currently trying to create a small neural network in Python. The file here does not work at the moment, but it is my ongoing process. The basics seem easy, and eventually I want to try to include OCR and convolutional networks.
SAP is the big new technology I had the opportunity to work with in school. I have become well versed in configuration, and have found I now know more about accounting than ever expected. Our team worked with FICO, MM, PP, and SD configuration for a mock multinational company. We were able to configure everything from master data to rules and parameters, over the course of only a few weeks.
In one of my classes, I worked with a bunch of packages to use API pulls from online data. This example was a weather forecast, but being a fan of the NBA, I want to start doing this for stats to improve sports betting odds for myself.
Our final in a software product development class was a full stack project hosted on AWS. This was a different kind of code than I was used to, involving HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and utilizing Flask. It also consisted of some SQLite and Flask.
