<h2>Hobby Projects</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Over the years I've hacked away at various personal projects. My
|
|
preference is always to build, run and host applications locally,
|
|
however I have come around to cloud services for public-facing
|
|
resources, such as CloudFlare, which is used to host this page!
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I have used AI/ML in the past, as seen in my own Depth Prediction
|
|
implementation, and LLMs, where I fine-tuned BERT to perform Named
|
|
Entity Recognition, however recent models have gotten too large to
|
|
train at home. I also use local LLMs in LM Studio, to provide basic
|
|
information and coding assistance when learning a new framework.
|
|
Recently my interesets have shifted to designing applications that
|
|
can maximise throughput for large datasets and minimise response
|
|
time for queries/charts. I'm currently reading
|
|
<a
|
|
href="https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/designing-data-intensive-applications/9781491903063/"
|
|
>Designing Data-Intensive Applications</a
|
|
>
|
|
to facilitate improvements in the Ingey project once core
|
|
implemetation is complete.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Finally I've enjoyed writing new applications in Rust; the
|
|
efficiency, ease of use and correctness have been fantastic. One
|
|
example is in the
|
|
<a href="https://gitea.michaelpivato.dev/vato007/ingey">Ingey</a>
|
|
project, where I reduced the time to perform reciprocal accounting
|
|
on a costing product from ~1.5 hours to ~7 seconds on a
|
|
laptop/desktop, or ~36 seconds on a smartphone. This was due to
|
|
avoiding non-bulk inserts into a relational database, and using a
|
|
custom algorithm in overhead allocation that significantly reduced
|
|
memory consumption and the number of required calculations. The
|
|
optimisations applied by Rust in release mode also had a significant
|
|
impact on performance, and is what facilitated easy deployment to an
|
|
iOS application.

This is a Tauri + Angular application that makes it easy to edit
|
|
json files conforming to a protobuf definition. It works as a
|
|
standalone desktop application for the most complete experience,
|
|
with browser support to show Tauri's versatility as well.

This project originally involved communication between a Raspberry
|
|
Pi and a Traxxas Slash using the Pi's GPIO to control the steering
|
|
and throttle of the RC Car. This was mounted on some 3D printed
|
|
brackets. The steering and throttle are set by an iPhone/Android
|
|
application connected over WiFi.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Over time this worked as a base to explore other ideas, namely:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
SLAM: Using BreezySLAM and a 2D RP Lidar A1, the Pi can map out an
|
|
area and send this information to the controlling phone.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Depth Prediction: Using the Pi's camera and an Intel Neural
|
|
Compute Stick (NCS), the Pi could process camera data and use a
|
|
custom implementation of the
|
|
<a href="https://gitea.michaelpivato.dev/vato007/fast-depth-tf"
|
|
>FastDepth</a
|
|
>
|
|
Neural Network to add 3D sensing capabilities.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Recently there have been efforts to port the backend to Rust, with
|
|
the 2D Lidar sensing and control completed. The Python BreezySLAM
|
|
implementation is currently unfinished, mainly due to work on other
|
|
projects

<h3>Depth Prediction</h3>

From the PiCar project, I explored many different implementations of
|
|
monocular depth prediction and 3D SLAM solutions, including
|
|
implementing my own algorithms and trainers for depth prediction
|
|
that perform well on constrained devices.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This gave me a solid foundation on Tensorflow/Keras and computer
|
|
vision. It also helped expand my knowledge on machine learning from
|
|
university/online study, as I previously had not explored models
|
|
this large, or specifically computer vision related models.
