Boyd R. Kane

(aka BRK aka b r k aka be-yar-kay)

I like combining robotics with machine learning

You can see nicely formatted summaries of my profile on OSS insight or coder stats.

And there's this website which ranks users by number of commits: ZA GitHub ranking

  • πŸ”­ I’m currently working on eskom-calendar, a completely free source of Eskom Loadshedding information.
  • I'm also completing my Master's in Computer Science at Stellenbosch University, South Africa

Message me on Twitter (fast reply) or LinkedIn (business-related)

I enjoy exploring different tools, so have dabbled with a fair number of things over the years. Here's an approximate list:

  • Rust, Python, Typescript, Java, Haskell, HTML/CSS, Arduino, C++
  • Tailwind, Teloxide, Svelte, TensorFlow/Keras, BeautifulSoup, Godot, Shuttle.rs

Here are some ideas/concepts that I think are cool

function count-total-zeros (x)
    if x = 0 return 32
    n ← 0
    if (x & 0x0000FFFF) = 0: n ← n + 16, x ← x >> 16
    if (x & 0x000000FF) = 0: n ← n +  8, x ← x >>  8
    if (x & 0x0000000F) = 0: n ← n +  4, x ← x >>  4
    if (x & 0x00000003) = 0: n ← n +  2, x ← x >>  2
    if (x & 0x00000001) = 0: n ← n +  1
    return n

I like fixing things, so if I can take 30m to make a fix to an open source library, I usually will:

(You can use this github search to see the full list of PRs I've made which were merged and which were not from my main project eskom-calendar.)

If you reach out to me, please include a Dune reference in your first message to indicate that you've read this page.

This helps me figure out who's sending a million cold calls to random people online and who's actually interested in what I have to offer.
