Hi, I'm wasabipesto. This is the place where you can give me money, if you want.
I'm not a software engineer by education or trade. My background is actually in HVAC controls engineering, which is an underrated field in my opinion. I don't consider myself a skilled programmer by any means but I've never let that stop me in the past.
Occasionally I'll stumble upon an interesting problem and follow it down a rabbit hole, usually to the detriment of my sleep schedule. Out of those rabbit I holes I emerge with charts, rants, and/or mania. You can encourage these bad habits for as little as one dollar.
Some of my favorite things I've made include:

Brier.fyi, a data-driven exploration of prediction market accuracy and calibration. Previously Calibration City. Both sites powered by Project Themis.
Nice Numbers, a fool's errand to solve a silly math problem with high-performance computing, and my blog post about it.
Some of my blog posts like The Old Schoolhouse (a digression into how you might approach upgrading HVAC in an old building) or A Better Spotify Wrapped (a genre map, artist diversity algorithms, and a popularity contest).

I open-source everything I write because I learned a lot from reading other people's code, and I want other people to be able to learn from mine. Also, other people can point out the flaws and help me fix them.
