Greetings, Fellow Earthlings

Author: John (Jack) Messerly


Welcome to my after-hours sample work page, where I try to talk about interesting, tangible problems that rhyme with what I solve in my day-to-day work. I focus on the problems themselves and handcrafted solutions to them, rather than writing about engineering concepts in an educational way (like in a towardsdatascience.com article), or research in a formal way (like in a conference paper). I hope you like them!
