Update time! It's been 3 months, so I actually have some stuff to talk about. Work has started well. I'm working with the Thunderbird team…
Okay... So... I didn't forget about updating this. Last semester got really busy really fast, and I didn't have the energy or time to update…
Welcome to 2022. Everyone buckle up. I didn't do too much before leaving Vancouver to keep myself safe before the flight home, but I did go…
If I thought I was busy last update, I wasn't at all prepared for the firehose of work that was this term. Everything was just a huge and…
That was a hell of a month of school. Returning to classes was odd. Classes are being run in this odd hybrid manner, where students can be…
Not too much to report this month. I continued working on the final project report and a project update presentation, which went really well…
With courses done, July was a much chiller month. Well, except for the horrible temperatures. At work, my focus was on preparing for the…
If I thought May was a lot of work, June was worse! I was really unprepared for my CPSC 304 midterm, so that put a lot of stress on me to do…
May has been a lot of work. On the Berlinguette side, we've been running the optimizer on real scenarios, but we keep running into issues…
April was a full month for me. As the first few weeks progressed, I struggled with not making as much progress as I wanted. I would think I…
March was a lot of research into machine learning, as well as continuing the hardware revisions on the tester. The tester is now really…
Not too much to report in February. I spent most of the month continuing the shift to the new robot architecture. I did have some…
January started with a setback, but I was able to power through it. On the first day back, I worked with the robot manufacturer to calibrate…
December was an odd month. Work-wise, things went well... until they really didn't. We did another data gathering test with the robot, which…
November saw a lot of good work by our team. We got the fixed testing device back, so we were able to get some good data that, thus far…
Things progressed nicely in my co-op work this last month, despite some bad luck. There's a good story there. So we have this testing device…
These last 2 months have been hectic! (Which is why this update is so late.) August had exams, which went well, but the main thing for me…
Not much to tell about July, honestly. Things seem to have settled into a sort of new normal, which is... fine... 😄 CPSC 320 has been going…
So it turns out doing 213 and 221 in the same summer term might have been a bit too much, but I did get through it okay. My 221 prof was…
April was weirdly long and short at the same time. With most of my exams being online and open-book, it was rather hard to get the…
So... many things have happened, to say the least. I had thought I did an update for February, but I guess it's just part of all the…
I wanted to get this out on time, I really did, but basically everything happened at the beginning of February. I've only just gotten out…
Year's over, and 1 term down! The biggest part of this month, at least in terms of school, was finals. For the most part, they were…
November didn't have that many exceptional moments, but overall I'm feeling more confident with a lot of things. The biggest improvement was…
Quite a bit late on this one, as this first week of November has been full of work. October was a lot. A lot of stress, a lot of good (or…
So September is done and I'm trying to be as much like Fountain Bird (AKA Birb) as possible: calm on the surface, working hard underneath…
Thanks for coming to my site! Let me tell you about my start at UBC. I've done a lot of moving around in my time teaching internationally…
