My Problem While there’s a slew of automated trading solutions for both stocks and crypto, I wanted to try building my own as a learning exercise and to give myself more control. A few of the solutions boast some form of ML-driven logic but most use classic standards (RSI, MACD, etc). This is fine but…
After tinkering with automating crypto buys with the Coinbase API, I wanted to bring in my NFTs as part of my aggregate crypto portfolio (even though my NFTs are more personal interest than investment). I opted to explore Moralis as I’d never worked with their platform before and it seemed to have a good community…
Humans spend a lot of time reading, analyzing, and responding through text (emails, chats, etc). A lot of this is inefficient or not for pleasure (such as the amount of payroll companies spend to read through feedback emails or the amount of time I spend sifting through Outlook each day). Using Natural Language Processing (NLP),…
AWS Lambda enables you to run code without managing a server. You simply plop in your code and it does the rest (no maintenance, scaling concerns, etc). The cost is only $0.20 per 1 million requests/month and the first million requests are free each month. In the previous post, I setup an SNS topic. I’m extending…
#FirstWorldProblems – having so many DVDs that you forget what you already own and end up buying multiple copies of the same movie. While 126 movies isn’t a massive collection, it’s enough for me to sometimes forget what I have when I’m pillaging the $5 bins at Best Buy and Target. To solve for this,…
It’s been a slow couple months between the holidays, travelling, and work. I did manage to accomplish a few things with the Home Dashboard project, though. I redesigned the UI to move away from an exclusively mobile interface as the amount of data and type of data I’m including in the project now simply don’t all…
Seattle has a pretty awesome approach to data availability and transparency through data.Seattle.gov. The city has thousands of data sets available (from in-car police video records to land zoning to real-time emergency feeds) and Socrata, a Seattle-based company, has worked with the city (and many other cities) to allow developers to engage this data however…
As mentioned previously, my goal wasn’t to just create a home controller/dashboard but to also collect as much data as possible while doing so. So tonight, I started playing around with a few different visualizations of the data I’ve collected thus far. It took a few hours but I’m satisfied with the current state. I’m…
As noted here, I’m using the the DirecTV SHEF API and a Raspberry Pi to poll my DirecTV receivers every minute and store what they’re doing into a MySQL database. After ~6 months of storing that data, I thought it’d be interesting to analyze some of it. After all, do I really watch enough HBO and Starz to…
