Hi there!
I’m Alex Gude, a data scientist with a passion for plots and algorithms, as well as cycling and photography. I got my start in the tech industry at Insight Data Science, after previously working as a high energy particle physicist at CERN and a cosmologist at Lawrence Berkeley Labs.
I write about whatever catches my attention here on this site; mostly that means data science, machine learning, deep learning, and software development. My writings on deep learning from my time at Lab41 can be found at Gab41 and rehosted on this page.
If you’re interested in my thoughts in real time (as well as sneak peaks at what I’m writing), follow me on BlueSky or Mastodon.
The code that I write lives on my Github page. Bug reports and pull requests are always welcome!
Recent Writings
I write articles about machine learning, data science, and technology, as well as book reviews. You can find a sample of my most recent writings below:
Not Till We Are Lost, by , is the fifth book in the Bobiverse series. It sets up the Quiniverse, introduces a Skippy AI, and explores the discovery of wormhole travel.
