Hello there! I’m Matt. Above is a picture of the majestic Mount Fuji.
I took this picture and am quite fond of it.
Mount Fuji has been the subject of many great works of art
(e.g., Hokusai’s Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji).
I find myself thinking about these scenes and images often enough that it seemed
fitting to associate this picture with my own creative work.
When I’m not admiring nature and art, I am working with data.
I have a deep fondness for math and machine learning,
and find it thrilling to implement what I learn through code and neat analyses.
I like to write about my favourite projects and discoveries.
I’m sharing some of that here and here.
I also make music on the side – you can find that here.
I am in the process of migrating my work to this site. More projects and reports will be here soon!
