A brief listing of hobby projects I am attempting or would like to attempt

Hobby Projects

This serves as a repository of ideas that have popped into my head. As I have time, I play around with one.

  1. Mute Button - Automatically mute television commercials using machine learning and Spark
  2. NYC Taxi - A cabbie once told me that the length of each trip he takes is much longer than it was before. Use math to prove/disprove it. This data needs a lot of cleanup and profiling before it can be properly analyzed. NYC Taxi Data Cleanup Project
  3. Heart Rate Anomaly Detector - Automatically detect afib in the fitbit HR
  4. Picam Fun - Detect movements and objects from images work started here
  5. Listicle - Organize online articles for reading frontend backend
  6. ML Playground - Spark has some amazing scalable tools for machine learning. Some tooling to help common workflows and optimize for model learning is helpful
  7. Stocks - measure quarterly results of my holdings in Jupyter Notebooks. All analysis is in python. This is a private repo.
  8. Fantasy Football Stats - do some quick analysis to help me lose slightly fewer fantasy football games
  9. Computer Vision Jigsaw Puzzle Solver - Given an image of the final product and an image of each piece, solve a jigsaw puzzle

Thoughts for next year:

  • Automated Flight Path - program a drone to fly places
  • Push button drink logger - program a pi to record a beer or other kind of drink when I push a hardware button. Bonus points for adding a camera and automated drink/face recognition
  • Tour Guide - When I'm within a certain distance from a landmark, show the wikipedia page of that landmark to me. Helpful everytime I'm in Minsk
