Working for the amazing guys at MozillaVR, preparing our next webVR demo using A-Frame (http://aframe.io), to be released very soon!

Our previous one was A-Painter, a kind of tilt brush in a browser (https://blog.mozvr.com/a-painter/). Having lots of fun doing this stuff :)

I've been working on validating my thought that country music lyrics are all about very similar (and very cliche) topics, and I realized I needed to label all the lyrics I scraped from Genius. Since there are 5000 or so, and I didn't want to have to do all of it myself or rigged with some google doc, I built an app to more easily collect training data. It's generalized to allow for different question types and different documents other than just text as well.

It's also a front in case people want to get in contact for general data scraping or ML needs that I can help with, but the main app is the platform for training data.

I don't have a name for it, which is why it's running with a Heroku url, so suggestions are welcome!

I've been teaching myself web development and recently completed a project I started on that's a website/jobs board for remote jobs: https://remotefriendly.work .

Are the current jobs on your website scraped from somewhere, or are they real customers?

I'm building https://bandgap.io, which is a platform for computational solid state physics. It computes band structure, Fermi surfaces, and someday, I hope, we can get to computing topological properties. It's done in Django for the backend, Three.js for the visualization, and C++ for the compute.

About 5 years ago, I had created a bunch of screencasts around OpenGL. I recently (Nov 1st) finally started recording screencasts again.

I'm making super short daily screencasts now called ProgrammingTIL (~1-8 minutes), currently covering React, WebGL, ImmutableJS, Algorithms (CLRS), and Webpack.

So far, I've done ~40 new videos. You can check them out here:

I'm slowly building out an email list here:

Eventually, I'd like to sell some full courses for complete projects as well- not just teaching different small things.

Edi: added quantity of videos, grammar.

https://hackclub.com - High school coding clubs

When I was in high school I started a coding club because I really really wanted the environment and culture I found on Hacker News, but in person.

That club had such a profound effect on me, I wanted to make it easier for other high schoolers to create communities of hackers. Hence, I started working on Hack Club :-).
