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:
Metropolitan, by , is the first book in the Metropolitan series. It is the story of Aiah, a young woman who discovers an illegal source of magical plasm, and how it draws her into conflict with the world.
A Drop of Corruption, by , is the second Shadow of the Leviathan book. This time, Din and Ana track down a murderer in the northern Kingdom of Yarrow whose brilliance is almost a match for Ana’s own.
Martin the Warrior is the sixth book in the Redwall series. It’s Martin’s origin story, following him as he’s enslaved by—and eventually leads an uprising against—the tyrant Badrang.
A Desolation Called Peace, by , is the second book in the Teixcalaan series. It tells the story of Mahit and Three Seagrass trying to stop the war between the Teixcalaanli Empire and a mysterious alien race.
A Memory Called Empire, by , is the first book in the Teixcalaan series. It follows Mahit Dzmare, an ambassador from the space station Lsel, as she tries to save her home from being annexed by the Teixcalaanli empire.
