I have two logical hubs, the main computer for processing/ML/DNN and a Raspberry Pi 4 as the local network hub.

    As I currently live in a house with a Spectrum Wave 2 router that I do not have access to (I made a promise), I decided to create my own, logically separate and secure network in order to connect my various machines.

This has allowed me to perform operations such as backups, secure file transfers, and some distributed computing without going through a router that I don't trust. At all. I am currently working on using Ansible and Docker containers to make distributed tasks more independent, along with Kubernetes for container orchestration.

  • Q-Learning Kit

    This is our Senior Design project. With it, a person with a basic proficiency in matrix programming and simple mechanical/engineering design and assembly knowledge can test out and experiment with a basic model for reinforcement learning. A bill of parts is added, as well as video assembly instructions and the files required to 3-D print some of the parts.
