Snowflake Cortex AI Functions Guide

I was the first writer on Snowflake's AI and ML features and established the information architecture for these topics. This hirerarchy of topics (i.e. the linked topic and everything below it in the table of contents tree on the left side of the page) documents Snowflake's LLM-powered AI Functions. The Wayback Machine link goes to the way it was when I left Snowflake.



AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) Developer Guide

I authored the complete AWS CDK developer guide from ground zero and shepherded it through two major releases. The Wayback Machine link goes to the way it was when I left AWS. I consider the Concepts section and the Best Practices topic to be particular highlights. You'll notice code examples in 5-6 different languages.



Tic-Tac-Toe explanation

A Google interviewer asked me to write an original piece on my choice of one of the topics they offered. I chose "explain a simple game as if the reader has never heard of it." I had a lot of fun writing it and think it turned out well. I still use it as a sample occasionally.



The JFK Hoover Bot

The JFK Hoover Bot is an end-to-end tutorial in which readers develop a client/server chatbot app orchestrating four Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services. The bot searches a document corpus relating to the JFK assassination and can speak results using the voice of former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover.



Stack Overflow Answers

I have contributed more than 2,300 answers to Stack Overflow. I like these in particular because they either explain a concept particularly well, or demonstrate mastery of advanced Python features.
