My Portfolio: Curriculum Vitae

The first stop on our tour of my portfolio website is my Curriculum vitae. It gives a summary of my long and varied career in data science and R&D. There are also links to case studies for some of the projects I'm particulary proud of, as well as external links to my PhD thesis and projects I've contributed to (either professionally or as open source contributions). You should learn something new on every project, and this might give some idea about just how much I've learnt during my career.

My Portfolio

Until last year, I was self-employed, and had a website for my business. When I made the reluctant decision to close down Playful Technology Limited, I wanted to keep a lot of the material I wrote for it, so I set up Dr Peter Bleackley's Portfolio on Github Pages. So what's there?
My Curriculum Vitae
A summary of my career so far
Key Algorithms
A series of articles I wrote between November 2023 and July 2024, about the algorithms I believe every data scientist should know
Case Studies
A selection of projects I worked on during my contracting career
Data Science Notebooks
Some personal data science projects, mostly on Kaggle
QARAC
An open source project to train NLP models with a concept of logical consistency
How Many Components
describes a simple heuristic for chosing the number of components to use in principal component analysis
Code Reviewing ChatGPT
An experiment to find the limits of genenerative models for code generation
Over the next few weeks I'll be going over these in more detail.
