“It’s been done before!” or “It’s not possible!”, the last thing you want to hear when you pitch your new idea. What if you could quickly and pragmatically identify better, more innovative ideas that are actually feasible? Enter the “Technical Horizon Framework”. What are Technical Horizons? As technology advances with time, what is technically…

Over lockdown I built a voice app that would interview me about my projects and help write articles for me. …

A while ago I tried to make my bike smarter with machine learning to help keep me safe whilst commuting through busy London streets. Background If you live in a big city and cycle you probably have developed superhuman reflexes and awareness, especially in cities like London where a lot of…

During the summer I was asked to help with some video recording for a rugby tournament, but rather than spending hours rewatching footage to find highlights, I quickly threw together some tech to make things a lot easier. Background Sport videography is a hobby of mine (specifically rugby). It is however…

At Google I/O this year I used ML to build an automated video processing pipeline that detects what’s in a video and automatically hides the parts you would find scary. Background Whilst watching some movies with some friends, we discovered that…

So you’ve deployed your machine learning model to the cloud and all of your apps and services are able to fetch predictions from it, nice! You can leave that model alone to do its thing forever… maybe not. Most machine learning models are modeling something about this world, and this…

Recently a friend got me into basketball. Turns out, it’s a lot harder than it looks. No matter, I can over engineer a solution using machine learning. If your into ML and shooting hoops then there’s also this article that combined TensorFlow and basketball in a simulation.

At the risk of alienating a lot of readers… I grew up with GUI’s, so I never needed to learn the ways of the terminal! This is socially acceptable in todays society of friendly user interfaces, except maybe if you’re in software engineering… whoops! Getting back my software engineering street cred’ I’ve gotten pretty far just through…

Manually labelling data is nobodies favourite machine learning chore. You needn’t worry though about asking others to help out provided you can give them a pleasant tool for the task. Let me present to you: generated Google Forms using Google App Script! The regular way people might label data is…
