To dissect the mind, you must build the brain.

“What I cannot create,
I do not understand.”
— Richard Feynman

I build to test the edges of my own understanding. The code is the byproduct.

ASL_RECOGNITION: Silence is not an absence of data; it is a failure of the receiver. This was an exercise in translating human motion into machine logic.
NEURAL_NET_SCRATCH: You don't truly understand the abstraction until you are forced to write the calculus yourself.
ALGORITHMS: I broke down the logic to find the underlying architecture.

“We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.”
— Marshall McLuhan.

Build / Break / Refine 

class NQueens:
    def solve(self):
        # Search for the
        # configuration where
        # nothing conflicts.
        return solution

“Hand-making a tool
teaches you things the
factory cannot.”

“The only way to discover the limits of the possible
is to go beyond them into the impossible.”
— Arthur C. Clarke.
