Portfolio(s), positions, analysis, and updates. 📈

Nothing herein is financial advice. Past performance is in no way indicative of future returns. Any listed holdings are not guaranteed to be up to date or accurate. All holdings are delayed. Please do not think mirroring any of my holdings will give you any sort of positive returns or generate alpha. Please use common sense as mileage may vary (considerably).

Surveying the landscape: present and future.

Applied AI continues to accelerate, largely fueled by the maturation of tooling and infrastructure. Couple this infrastructure with a strong pool of talent and enthusiasm, readily accessible capital, and high customer willingness to adopt AI/ML and you’ve got something special. We’re turning the corner into a new decade where AI/ML will create real value for both the consumer and the enterprise at an accelerating pace.

Defining Terms

Applied AI: anything to do with taking AI research from the lab to a use-case and everything in-between. From the infrastructure and tooling, to the hardware, to the deployment surfaces in industry, to the models themselves, it takes a village to get a bleeding edge advance in AI research to a use-case. One great test for maturation in our field is the time it takes for a new advance to get from paper to production. …

Motivation

I’m often asked what gets me so excited about investing. Here’s a summary of my investing journey since placing my first limit order.

On to the list!

Data Science for Business: What You Need to Know about Data Mining and Data-Analytic Thinking

I often pick up popular data books that I don’t imagine I’ll enjoy for the sake of this reading list. This is one of those books I didn’t imagine enjoying but ended up really appreciating. I often struggle to pin an audience on books like this, but it would probably service as a spectacular introduction for beginners to the field (with a fairly strong technical background) and as an even better reference for the early-career data professionals. It’s a practical approach and explanation to tons of topics that you might have otherwise gotten overwhelmed by in a textbook. It’s technical enough to make it worth your time, but it’s also pragmatic enough to allow you to continuously identify use-cases and understand where and when knowing the nuts and bolts is relevant to application or even the road to mastery. …
