Brian Drake
Hello, I'm Drake
I am currently a PhD researcher, looking at causal AI for decision making.
I originally put this website together to document my journey from being an analytical immunoassay scientist, to a machine learning engineer. However, as I have studied and worked more in the field, I developed a love for the dscipline. So, I have kept studying and working, leading to my website/blog getting bigger, see what you think!
and of course thank you for visiting ☕
Trimester 2 Begins!
The First Week Of Trimester 2
As much as the relaxing has been nice, the new trimester is also a nice return to routine.
For this Trimester I will be completing Mathematical Foundations of Data Science and Foundations of Computer Science B.
I seemed to somehow have forgotten that I would have to learn some mathematics for this degree. I haven’t completed a mathematics course since my undergraduate, way back when, within Statistical Practice 1 (Life Sciences). The math this week was daunting but was still accessible. We were looking at all things dataframes within python, as well as set theory, functions, and summation.
… I have already gained an increased appreciation for mathematicians.
The Foundations of Computer Science B course has been good. I have learned more about shell and Unix. Both topics that I glazed over in my preparations for this course but am grateful to be learning. I look forward to learning more formally about Git next week though. That way I dont ruin my own repositories again haha.
