3D Printing and Modeling

Fusion 360 is my tool of - choice for quick designs, but I am also very proficient with other software such as CATIA or Blender.

I manage a personal blog at blog.ansonbiggs.com - where I give detailed writeups on any of my projects that I think are worth sharing. Writing has been a great - tool to force myself to learn because I do my best to make sure I understand any topics I write about so that - myself and others can use them as references. The blog 100% a personal blog, it's more of a personal journal - that I share with the world than it is a website that I’m trying to advertise and monetize.

-Nvidia held a competition involving computer vision to advertise their new development board that was - compact had a lot of graphics horsepower making it great for small computer vision based projects. My idea was - to teach the computer to identify food. Tools I used included OpenCV using Python, and all the pictures of - food that I was able to scrape off the internet. I made it into the top 50 contestants but unfortunately ran - into issues with the project that were ahead of my skill set at the time and wasn't able to compete further. - It was great to work on a project where I was forced to teach myself almost the entire way through and I hope - to revisit this project in the future as NVidia send me some more boards when I reached the top 50 of +

Running a 25TB FreeNAS server in my bedroom
-I have an obsession with hoarding data. I keep multiple copies of almost everything I do and even keep - copies of data that I think I will find useful in the future. I have years worth of Linux ISO files for - multiple different distributions that I also have available for others to download. I have a full copy of - Wikipedia that I can browse while offline and numerous other random things that nobody besides me cares about. - This project has taught me a lot about different filesystems and how to use a command line interface. This is - an ongoing project that I will probably continue to evolve until I die so I look forward to expanding my +

Numerous Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects
-Most of my projects never see completion because I cannibalize them to build new projects but my current - projects involve building a large LED stock ticker that reads off stock prices like in Wall Street. This - project has taught me a lot about working with open source projects on Github and I have even had to source - the LED panels from China myself to make the project affordable for myself. The few Electronic Engineering - classes that I have taken so far have all been building physical circuits so I look forward to getting into +
