About

This blog serves as an outlet to explore ideas which naturally interest me. I try to keep an informal, back-of-the-napkin style to these posts, hopefully a little like Tom Tango. Posts are grouped by topic in the header, but can be accessed in chronological order below.

Note

Current independent work

I'm building a tennis tracking program, which hopefully will scale to the level where entities (players and ball) can be tracked for entire tournaments. Such a database could prove useful for researchers and players alike, pushing the sport forward.
