<aside> đź’ Tensors and Transformers From: Scratch
I’ve always admired the ability to explain things simply. I always, always took everything apart. To the great detriment of my computer tinkerer Grandfather who would buy a new computer and gadget only for me to promptly disassemble it.
It’s 2024 and I’m now teasing apart complexity so I can explain to others and to myself. To understand it’s story and marvel at all it’s lego pieces that bring together ideas.
Why do they call it a Tensor?
I always loved geometry. Like a drawn picture tries to capture a feeling. So to does a Tensor capture the geometry of something. Like the geometry of a triangle, or of several triangles put together. A Tensor ends up looking like a matrix. Similar to how a picture ends up looking like colored lines on paper. They are both representations of “something” in another form.

<aside> 🎇 **Internet of “Things” Engines
S**tability, throughput and scale was my focus when my team and I first built the 1.0 engine open source - ‣ - 59 Forks, 337 stars - used by Amex even
Highlights:
Rules Engine
Pluggable Languages and Libraries
Circuit breakers
Timeouts
Replay on Failure
Optionally embed on “devices”
TLDR:
Processing events is the goal. Here's the the flow for an incoming event:
We launched to 22 million live customers. We created a front-end using what we thought was the latest tech, Polymer and built deploy-able templates users could instantiate with a sentence based structure to automate a “thing”.

<aside> 🆕 Do A Startup At Least Once
It would seem, humans have the ability to think of something like a shed and then go and build that, in “real life”. It’s cool and frankly I always yearn to see just what I can create.
I came to California with that very intent. To do startups. Whatever and however I could. What better way than to start my own right?
One of my proudest accomplishments. Founder and CTO. Here is some of what I learned.

**My most “hard skill” is that I am the fastest and most curious learner. Consider me not on what I’ve learned already but what I am capable of deeply understanding in the future.
