A free course on machine learning, focused on security and easing the non-mathematically gifted (myself) into useful and interesting ML projects. Working in a lot of academic research from my degrees in the area and from behind journal paywalls (where all the interesting stuff is). The first project may be a guided tutorial building an ML-assisted fuzzer.

It's a work in progress, so new content is added every two weeks. Currently introductory and foundational material. https://security.kiwi

An LED art ecosystem!

It’s a tool for easily designing LED patterns and programming microcontrollers.

I’ve built out an IDE, a simulator, a tutorial, lots of tools, an online pattern gallery, mobile apps, and I’ve started selling handmade hardware I build.

It’s cost me lots of money and years of my life but I can’t seem to stop. It’s a fun hobby.

A toy project: https://backgroundstudio.app

I jokingly said on a zoom call last year, “I wish I could just make a zoom background of a bookshelf with MY books from Kindle.”

Everyone on that call kept bringing it up so I hacked this together just before Christmas.

Book covers are sourced from OpenLibrary. The Goodreads API was deprecated the same day I made the git repo.

I’m building a an iOS that makes data-journaling really simple.

Rather than use a handful of apps to track different things (workouts, meals, periods, etc) the way they want you to and selling your data to the highest bidder, my app lets you design your own form/questionnaire for each use case you have to track what you care about all in one private app.

I’ll be looking for beta testers soon if anyone is interested.

A brand management tool that allows you to create on-brand designs in one click.

I just tweeted a little sneak peek to show how it works: https://twitter.com/GilliSig/status/1349870065647296513

The project is live, but currently only a brand guide part of it is available to the public, which btw makes it super easy to set up a brand guide. This then builds on top of the brand guide and uses its assets to create the designs. I am looking for beta testers for this new designer feature if anyone wants to try it out.

I also got another project I'm working on, an icon manager that allows you to color entire icon sets in one click.

At work, I am building a reliable and scalable control plane for GCP network. I am not sure how much detail I can share here before getting fired so I'll stop here.

As a side project, I am finishing an iOS app that can block phone calls based on regex-specified numbers. It is not intended to release publicly, just for my family to use so that we can get an ad-free, fully functional, subscription-free app to block spam/robot/spoofing calls which are becoming more and more these days.

I like the idea, but this could backfire on me =/

app: "it will take you 10 minutes to afford this" me: "but it took 30 minutes to decide which one! now i need to buy three!"

Hi I had another idea. You could also show "If you invested X dollars in VTI, your returns could be Y in 5 years Z in 10 years J in 15 years" X is the amount at the checkout page.

Haha, I love this - yeah there's lots of incentives available so maybe I allow the user to select which types of metrics are most meaningful to them. This is going on the list for sure!
