Accomplishments and Personal Projects
Listed below are some of my personal achievements and projects that I have done in my free time.
3D Printing and Modeling
Utilize a personal 3D Printer to prototype and iterate my own functional designs. Fusion 360 is my tool of choice for quick designs, but I am also very proficient with other software such as CATIA or Blender. This has quickly become my favorite hobby, whether its building a new idea from scratch or iterating an existing design.
I also maintain a pretty active account on Thingiverse where I contribute my designs to anyone who would like to use them.
My Personal Blog
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.
The Tegra® K1 CUDA® Vision Challenge
Nvidia held a competition involving computer vision to advertise their new development board that was compact had a built in GPU making it great for small computer vision based projects. My idea was to teach the computer to identify food for applications in the restaurant I worked in. 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 contestants.
