A Fast, Extensible Progress Bar for Python and CLI
With millions of daily downloads, this is one of the most popular Python packages worldwide
I have co-founded multiple startups, manage agile teams, and specialise (can and have taught courses) in Python, C++, CUDA, MATLAB, and a wide range of tooling: Git, Docker, CMake, Bash, and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Bitbucket Pipelines). I also regularly wrangle with cloud orchestration (AWS, Azure, GCP), and use various markup flavours (Markdown, ReST, LaTeX, HTML+(S)CSS) alongside the chimera that is JavaScript.
While personally more inclined towards UNIX (I have a Debian phone), most of my work has a strong emphasis on cross-platform compatibility.
I would describe myself as a Computational Physicist who appreciates the importance of user accessibility (the latter includes ease of installation, robustness, keeping breaking API changes to a minimum, and most importantly impeccable documentation & metadata – including release notes, versioning and licensing). At the moment I’m more involved in project/product management than engineering.
Here’s a breakdown of the number of lines of open source code I’ve written:
Experience
Projects I have worked on include:
- Physics simulations
- Real-time machine vision for:
- localisation
- object tracking
- augmented reality
- Machine learning for:
- image denoising and artefact reduction
- classification (natural language processing as well as more esoteric)
- predicting data warehouse usage patterns
- Performance optimisation
- converting script prototypes into compiled – optionally GPU-executable – code
- Creating and maintaining software frameworks, including:
- testing
- continuous integration
- software which does version control (because Git isn’t perfect)
- system administration (user accounts, network security, managing publicly accessible servers)
