Hi, I'm Andrew. I'm an engineer and adventurer. I was born and raised in Alaska, previously worked on strawberry picking robots, have traversed 3 different countries under my own power. Lately have been learning about AI + software, which spurred this personal website.

I am a generalist through and through, and I love learning new things and meeting new people. I like serendipitous encounters, if you do too, email me! aknoble dot andrew at gmail dot com

Here are some of my favorite books:

• Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
  • "You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in."
• Shop Class as Soulcraft
• Dune
  • "Fear is the mind killer"
• Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (never laughed so much reading)
  • "Turn the goddamn music up! My heart feels like an alligator."
  • "Do you see what God just did to us?"
  • "The look of a beast that had just been tossed into a sawdust pit to fight for its life."
  • "Why worry? You'll like it. Shit, there's nothing in the world like a mace high-- forty-five minutes on your knees with the dry heaves, gasping for breath. It'll calm you right down."
  • "Hallucinations are bad enough. But after a while you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth."
• The Prince
  • "For although these men were singular and extraordinary, after all they were but men, not one of whom had so great an opportunity as now presents itself to you." (p.87)

I'm really excited about AI learning tools right now. I've made a physics tutoring agent and, previously, a circuit theory tutor that can generate and explain basic circuit schematics.

This same technique seems useful for generating data visualizations with natural language, so I made a landing page for that here. If you'd find this useful, please let me know!
