Overview – Microsoft’s ML & AI tools, Philly.NET code camp
This weekend I have the opportunity to speak at Philly.NET’s bi-annual code camp at the Malvern (Philadelphia region) Microsoft office.
The Team Data Science Process With Python
I’m in Las Vegas this week for Ready and Inspire, Microsoft’s internal / external conference, and have been teaching colleagues how to create their own ML / DL models and deploy them to the cloud for customers to consume. The AI team at Microsoft has also done a great job of putting together resources for…
GGDA Atlanta: Developing Xbox, Console & Mixed Reality Games
My talk for the Georgia Game Developer’s Association last month is now on YouTube. Thanks again for the opportunity! The game development landscape in 2018 is vast, with handheld devices, consoles, PC, and even mixed reality. With so much out there, it can be staggering to get started, even if you’re a veteran. During…
Docker container running a flask web server for image classification using Scikit-Learn
I just returned from one of Microsoft’s Open Hack events in Toronto, where we coded alongside engineers from several other companies across the region. Link to the GitHub repository One of the challenges required that we’d be able to deploy a trained model to Azure, which would expose an HTTP endpoint. From there, we’d be…
SOLVED: When I try to link my PSN/XBL account to my Epic account, it says that my PSN/XBL account is already linked to an Epic account.
A while back I realized that my Xbox Live account was associated with someone else’s Epic Games account. Because of this, I could not play Fortnite on my Xbox. Despite all of my searching, and learning that there are many people with the same issue, I learned that Epic didn’t have an answer either. Their…
We’re looking for a few good engineers on the CSE team I work at
You can find the job posting here. I don’t have you tell you how much I love my job, as I’m sure you already know. I work on the Commercial Software Engineering team at Microsoft, where we build cutting-edge solutions with customers and partners around Microsoft’s newest technology. The role says Washington, DC, but it’s…
Why use Docker-in-Docker?
As part of a recent code-with project, where the Commercial Software Engineering (CSE) team I’m on at Microsoft worked with a large customer, I was assigned with creating a Docker-in-Docker image with the Azure CLI pre-installed. I initially thought “Why would anyone need this?” Also, “How far does the inception go?….Docker within Docker…..within Docker?” There…
Knowledge Dump: Machine Learning Scoring & Evaluation Metrics
I’ve decided to start a small series of knowledge dumps, where I post my notes from study sessions I have in my free time. Below you’ll find my thought process when learning new information, particularly around machine learning. I find myself asking the same questions over and over, so I write my answers down. Let…
Building Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)
I gave a talk to one of our internal groups at Microsoft today on Progressive Web Apps, PWAs, and thought the notes would also be helpful for those of you interested. I’ve recorded videos on Hosted Web Apps in the past, and they are equally useful, so I’d suggest taking a look at those first.…
Let’s Play: Resident Evil 3 (PS1, 1999)
I had the sudden urge to go through the Resident Evil series again, so I pulled out my copy of Resident Evil 3 and plugged it into the ePSXe emulator running on my computer. I have the hardware and a framemeister, but it’s far less convenient, in that I don’t have save states or…
