I'm working on implementing a few optimizations for our DWH, in particular I want to automatically find the best partition and bucketing schema for tables based on their access patterns. This is actually part of a much bigger project that I want to do to further increase the performance and efficiency of our data analytics systems.

As a side project, I'm working on a route planning app for running. I'm a long distance runner and travel for work a lot, so I frequently find myself planning a run on one of the many existing apps at 5am in a new city whilst jetlagged. My bugbear is that all the existing apps suck. I want a way to say "give me a running route that lasts approximately 10km and is as scenic (greenery, water, mountains, etc) as possibl…

I've wanted to build something similar for both cycling and motorcycling. There is an app for motorcycling that works ok, but it would be a fun project. Is this open source anywhere? I struggled to get started with working with road data and getting that into a route planning system.

Komoot is pretty decent

We have optimized neural ODEs, neural SDEs, neural DDEs, and neural DAEs quite a bit in Julia, and have some experimental results with neural jump SDEs and neural PDEs. But we can really do more with the neural PDEs, especially neural PDEs with constraints (i.e. partial differential-algebraic equations) and neural stochastic PDEs (SPDEs). It's all working with DiffEqFlux.jl (you can see a blog post of experiments her…

This stuff is really awesome! Three cheers for Julia + Autodifferentiation + DL

5 years ago, I had a crazy idea that there must be an open source engine that had a really simple learning curve and worked out of the box.

The result: https://github.com/typesense/typesense

It took me over 3 years to get the nuts and bolts right. It's now production ready and being used in quite a few production environments. Of course, there is more work to do and so it's still actively being worked upon.

I'm working on Alchemist Camp, a site with screencasts and tutorials for web devs learning Elixir and the Phoenix framework. I believe that in terms of free content in this niche, nobody on the web has put out more.

I've also been sporadically recording podcasts on topics near and dear to my heart—learning, mental models, code and bootstrapping.

I'm working on a travel agency website that integrates with global booking systems, something like expedia but less complex. So far along the process I've learned a lot specially about a wide range of Azure services. I just learned Azure Search and wow, it works great!

Combining open-source photogrammetry software into a system that scales reasonably to >100k images (with accelerometer/gyroscope data from the video camera) and >1G vertices in a single, consistent, high-quality mesh. It later computes a texture map based on the images, not smoothing them, but just minimizing seams and using some seam carving and color interpolation to make most seams invisible. I want VR reconstruct…

I am planning a new building on my property and really would love to have something like this to visualize it from different angles on the driveway, back porch, etc.
