- Oct 5, 2026 Teaching a Robot Not to Stop Hand-tuning two numbers for every motion in every autonomous routine got old, so I derived them from the distance of each motion instead.
- Oct 5, 2026 The Random Forest That Made Everything Slower My mental health classifier was built on an assumption about where inference time goes. Measuring it properly showed the assumption was backwards.
- Jun 12, 2026 Notes on Learning Data Science Unlearning the urge to jump straight to a model, what training data leaves unsaid, and why I implement algorithms from scratch before using a library.
- Apr 20, 2026 What I Learned at PATHS-UP Building a Parkinson's wearable at Rice taught me less about sensors than about the question every engineer should ask: who is this for?
