~/PLAYGROUND
Playground.
My space for random experiments, small projects and notes. Some things work. Some are here because I wanted to see what would happen.
01 / WHAT’S HERE
What’s here
COLLECTION 01 / OPTICS
Optical simulations
Diffraction and coherence calculations, a comparison of numerical methods, and notes on photonics research.
13 experiments · 23 methodsOptics collection →COLLECTION 02 / MACHINE LEARNING
Machine learning
Learning from coordinates and pixels, backpropagation, network depth and competitive self-play.
7 interactive lessons · equations · source codeMachine learning collection →NOTEBOOK
Ideas, reading and unfinished thoughts
A personal timeline across topics: papers, questions, research and connections that might become something.
Open Notebook →02 / A FEW PLACES TO START
Selected pages
A mix of experiments, guides and small projects.
PROJECT / ARCHITECTURE
A house, before and after
Compare a drawing-derived renovation model, isolate floors and inspect installation plans in 3D.
OPTICS / EXPERIMENT
Coherence in periodic multilayers
Compare coherent fringes, thickness averaging and incoherent returns using original dispersion tables.
MACHINE LEARNING / EXPLAINER
Backpropagation
Walk through backpropagation, one derivative and one update at a time.
OPTICS / FIELD GUIDE
Optical modelling methods
Compare what the methods describe, how they scale and where they fail.
MACHINE LEARNING / EXPERIMENT
Learning across an agent population
Inspect how a thousand independent agents improve, differ and plateau.
