2019 in Retrospect

This year, I've had some progress on my pet projects. The progress rate was slower in Q4 as we have bought a house. We'll move there in 2020.

Maintaining a house will require some work and learning activities. I expect that the pace of my pet projects will be slower than before.

2019

• TrafficControl (C++ / Qt) - Paused
• No work on this project in 2019.
• StockReader/StockAnalyzer (C# / SQL / MSVC) - Current focus
• Creating a C# program that scans a folder for result files, extract stock records and parses the data to a database. I've got some experience with Microsoft Visual Studio by now and I'm still learning...
• Next step will be to fix issues with data conversion to SQL
• After that, I'll explore some Machine Learning algorithms and check if I can predict stock price changes based on key numbers.
  
• ApartmentPredictor (Python) - Done
• A Python script that made Linear Regression Analysis of past apartment prices in an area. The predictions were based on the apartment size and the monthly cost. 
  
• Machine Learning Course at Stanford (Octave / Matlab)  - Done
• I successfully attended and finished the course in Machine Learning from Stanford University.
• I applied some machine learning for a pet project for a friend. The simulations indicated that the result was random to a very high degree,
• TravelTimeCalculator (Java / SQLite / Android Studio) - Done
• I've completed the project now. TravelTimeCalculator allows the user to compare travel time/cost between several positions on a map. They can also customize the travel cost to consider both travel time, economic costs and environmental cost.
  

• Work (C / Python / 4G / 5G) At work, I've focused on test and some coding for 5G with focus on antenna calibration.

To Do in 2020:

Prio 1: The New House!

Prio 2: StockReader/StockAnalyzer
