I am a software generalist
I always was one but didn't know there was a term for it. I prefer the term generalist over jack of all trades.
Going back to basics with ML
I'm currently taking Andrew Ng's Machine Learning Specialization, and honestly, it's been long overdue. Working with STT and speech-to-speech systems at work - fine-tuning ASR models, building post-processing layers - got me genuinely curious about what's happening under the hood. I've been shipping AI features for a while now, but I want to actually understand the fundamentals, not just use the APIs.
The long-term goal? Build a local language model. We'll see how far the rabbit hole goes.
Machine Learning Learning AII built a thing to stop biting my nails 💅
I've had this habit forever. Tried everything. So I finally just built my way out of it - a quick video monitor that watches me via webcam and calls me out the moment my hand goes near my mouth.

Built an ambient temperature monitor that automatically calls the building manager when our office gets too hot or too cold. Raspberry Pi Pico + DHT22 sensor - no app, no dashboard, just a webhook that fires when something's off.
