moving slow and fixing things
Tom Eichlersmith
he/him/hisI like to learn and understand new things.
This page is just one example: a single hand-written HTML file with CSS style manually made. It may not be the "prettiest" or the most "modern", but its mine and I understand each piece of it.
Here are a few more of my projects where I am trying my best to learn, create, and share.
zen-zine
A Typst package to help typeset an 8-page or 16-page zine about your favorite topic. I started this project after wanting to have a zine about my PhD thesis and it has become a fun project where I learn more about the inner workings of Typst.denv
POSIX-sh compliant program to uniformly interact with docker, podman, Apptainer, and Singularity container runners. Originally developed for containerized development of a large C++/Python project on both personal computers and academic computing clusters.ldmx-sw
A Physics experiment's data simulation and reconstruction software written in C++ which I've become a large contributor to as I worked on the experiment throughout my PhD thesis studies. Many of my other repositories are related work to this experiment and its softare (mostly prefixed with ldmx-).hdtree
Storage of columnar yet ragged data with a runtime-defined schema with HDF5 files. This was my attempt to mimic ROOT's TTree interaction mode (and data "shape") but using a different file format (HDF5 instead of ROOT).RandomManifoldWalks
My undergraduate senior theis in mathematics where I studied how random walks behaved depending on the shape of the surface they resided upon. My first large(ish) C++ project, but one I always think of returning to.
