Kantian Deontology: A Critique

Current Pursuits
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;

GitHubRudimentary reverse-proxy with cache written in Rust. This was a fun project to learn the basics of Rust and to gain a better understanding of how reverse-proxies work.

GitHubA minimal blockchain written in Rust. While I've been working on the application layer of blockchain technology for the past few years, this was the first time I've written a blockchain from scratch.

GitHubChasing alpha? Well it turns out you won't find it using the model I generated here. I suspect that's in-part because large financial institutions already include this information in their models and are lightyears ahead of me in terms of volume and processing capacity (not to mention refinement and alternative data sources). Nevertheless, it was a fun and instructive endeavor.

GitHubThis is probably the project I'm proudest of to-date. Not because it's difficult to write a brute-force solver (you can find that here too), but because formulating sudoku as an exact cover problem and implementing a modified version of algorithm x (I used a dictionary instead of dancing links) stretched my capacity for abstraction beyond what I'd previously thought myself capable of. Handles nxn, not just 3x3.

GitHubI completed this project during my time at Flatiron School, and it was really my first fully-autonomous data sceince project. While not my greatest work, the resultant model was more robust and accurate than anticipated. I plan on updating this one in advance of the 2021 NFL Draft, incorporating features beyond just combine performance metrics, such as twitter sentiment and college production. I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do with these additions.

GitHubPretty self-explanatory, and also pretty crude from a UX/UI standpoint, but it was the first program I wrote that could be properly called 'interactive'. Definitely could be improved by integrating a real GUI, but a milestone for sure.

GitHubThis project, like a few others here, was one I completed as part of my bootcamp experience, but unlike those others, this one was particularly personal, as I and several members of my cohort had just gotten covid ourselves, and the bootcamp was actually forced to transition from in-person to online administration as the world began to shut down. O ya, and it was the first time I'd been exposed to any NLP methods, so that was cool.

GitHubThis was a surprisingly fun project given that it doesn't provide any insight or add any functionality that doesn't already exist in nearly all high-level languages. Having to build commonly used data structures from scratch really gave me an appreciation of what's going on under the hood, and also gave me an understanding of when it's appropriate to use certain data structures. I was also taking a course on computer architecture and assembly language at the time which was quite synergistic.

I'll get back to you soon.
