Noodling About - Experiments, Writing & More

πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ What Is This?

Hey, I'm Roland: I've worked in the world of technology for a whole bunch of years, and until recently was the very definition of a middle-manager for Ocado Technology (there's more here on LinkedIn if you're curious).

I'm taking a bit of a career break, so whilst I'm figuring out who I am and what to do next, I'm going to be experimenting with various bits of technology: LLM's - so inevitably ChatGPT, ClaudeAI, probably Google GenAI stuff; probably some other bits of AI/neural net related tech (e.g. OpenAI CLIP); and more playful things such as ThreeJS. I'll probably write the odd thing and maybe post some daft or interesting images or videos.

πŸ“ Guidelines I'll Try to Follow:

Why ThreeJS Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

I’ve always been fascinated with 3D stuff, and ChatGPT means (I think/hope) that actually quickly creating silly and/or experimental things in ThreeJS is more achievable. ChatGPT is currently a bit like an over-eager junior engineer, so let's see how far I actually get. So far ....

'Acid House Starfield / Zuck Ping'

πŸ“œ Previously ...

Prior to working in the wonderful world of management (being anyone's manager is to me a real privilege) at Ocado Technology and Timetric, I did noodle around with various things:

I worked with the lovely people at 'Refined Practice'

D3JS: Co-wrote a book & did silly things with D3JS:

'Very silly interactive featuring Father Jack Hackett' A daft interactive based upon the very sweary Father Jack Hackett from the fabulous TV sitcom Father Ted

'Developing a D3.js Edge Book' I co-authored a small book!

Animating head' A few other silly things on my old site www.cloudshapes.co.uk

PhaserIO:

nhs-phaser-game-s

Built a small pro-NHS game using the PhaserIO game engine.

🀞 So, hopefully I'll be doing equally silly stuff using ThreeJS and whatever else takes my fancy.
