Hi there 👋
(badges created on Badge Generator)
I am Shannon Quinn, currently:
- an MLE at Valo Health ⚕️
- a recovering academic and former tenured professor 🎓
- interested in anything i) 👨💻 open source, ii) 🐍 PyData, and/or iii) 🍩 donuts
🔭 What I do here...
On Codeberg specifically:
- I'd grown frustrated enough with GitHub to look for alternatives. I already run an internal-only Forgejo on my homelab and love it, and my own values align with many of Codeberg's, so I figured: looks good to me!
- Sharing any of my side projects I feel comfortable posting publicly
- A little extra separation from my academic background, where the vast majority of my public-facing GitHub activity was educational (lecture slides, homework and project resources, course website updates) as the really interesting research-y stuff was always kept private
- Recruiters asked me about this: "Why is there so little public activity on your GitHub?" welllllll... that's why.
I also vividly remember attending the Magical NumPy with JAX workshop as part of SciPy 2021, and suddenly being struck by the thought: it was my first time actually writing code in close to a year.
I resolved at that point to start prioritizing my own coding and work back to the kinds of activity levels I had in the mid-2010s and earlier. And now, my internal Forgejo has 40 repos and growing (mostly GitOps-managed homelab deployments, with a few highly experimental side projects mixed in)! This public Codeberg account will mirror some of that work publicly.
🌱 I’m currently learning...
Pixi! Honestly can't imagine going back to Python work without pixi. I'm also really enjoying Home Assistant and Quarto.
💬 Ask me about...
Python, data science, cellular biology, image processing, or running.
⚡ Fun fact...
I ran over 1600 miles in a year once. I hope to break that record someday!
