About Me
I mostly code in typescript these days.
With static types for the dynamically typed javascript, largest package registry in the world (more than 1 million packages in npm), plot libraries rivaling Python’s Matplotlib (I do love aggregating data), what’s not to like :) [1].
From time to time I use Python, C++, R for implementing code behind scientific articles I find interesting like Spiking neural P systems or from my own: MaStream, BloomStream.
I use Jekyll with custom Ruby plugins when generating static content like getsetfetch/documentation.
I’m too cheap for even Heroku nevermind AWS so I do my own Docker, Terraform, Ansible trifecta when deploying to cloud my own personal projects.
You can read some technical tidbits I’ve wrote on the getsetfetch.org blog.
[1] I know I’m exaggerating a bit, npm have had security issues in the past, nodejs projects can get
bloated pretty fast with large number of external dependencies doing small, specialized things that in other languages
are builtin or bundled in a few external libraries everyone uses like C++ Boost, Python NumPy.
Nevertheless, typescript remains the
language I’m most comfortable writing in.

Dissertation: Data Mining Clustering Techniques used in Financial Fraud Audit
A novel alternative to the traditional two phase stream clustering scheme is proposed,
introducing sketch-based data structures for assessing both stream density and cluster membership with probabilistic
accuracy guarantees. A count-min sketch using a damped window model estimates stream density.
Bloom filters employing a variation of active-active buffering estimate cluster membership.
Instances of both types of sketches share the same set of hash functions.
The resulting stream clustering algorithm is capable of detecting arbitrarily shaped clusters while correctly handling
outliers and making no assumption on the total number of clusters.
See Stream Clustering using Probabilistic Data Structures and
its R/C++ implementation.
