I'm Kyle

I'm the one looking off into the distance in that picture. Don't worry about what my face looks like. I enjoy working on small coding projects and exploring new, technical subjects. I also like exploring new places in general!

This site is my way of sharing my experiences with machine learning, optimization modeling, and living abroad.

Highlights

Menu Optimization Model

After many years of studying math and operations research, I am so proud to introduce the spoils of my investments, which take the form of a model that tells me what to order from Sweetgreen. This model introduces the PuLP package from Python and uses its integrated Gurobi solver.

Weather API

I built a weather.com API that pulls real-time weather data and translates it into an interactive map that shows me where in the world I can straighten my hair. Very important stuff. It also includes some other cool things but that was really the biggest value-add in my opinion.

Reinforcement Learning

I am working on my first Reinforcement Learning project where I create a program that learns how to play Blackjack, or something similar. The assignment came from a youtube lecture series and some alterations to the game rules were made by the professor. You can check out the series here.

Knee Surgery

I recently had knee surgery and I am documenting my progress. My goal is to one day return to triathlons, but the road to recovery will be long and slow. Meanwhile, I am learning tons about joint injuries. Hopefully, by the end I will have a very good understanding of how to prevent further injuries while training. Nothing like learning by doing eh?
