older stuff

These are old scripts and small projects. Most predate my current work and are kept here mainly because people still find them through search.

• ev3py: a Python module for interacting with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 bricks using the native firmware.
• CATMATfinder: an NLP app that suggests likely government-procurement categories from a Portuguese product description.
• Wordscores in Python: an implementation designed to work with corpora too large to fit in memory.
• Fightin’ Words in Python: an implementation of the Monroe, Colaresi, and Quinn algorithm.
• FitbitBot: a small bot that automated bulk downloads from Fitbit’s old interface.
• Scripts to scrape and parse public-procurement data from Brazil’s Federal District.
