Kaggle Profile for Darrell Ulm

darrell ulm Kaggle Profile :: 

My Kaggle work reflects a mix of curiosity and long‑standing interest in computer science. I’ve spent a lot of time exploring different programming languages, including Python, C, C++, and PHP/MySQL, and I enjoy applying them to data‑focused problems. Much of my background involves data science, parallel computing, and algorithmic thinking, and I’ve worked with tools like Apache Spark for handling larger datasets.

I’ve also been learning more about artificial intelligence, especially neural networks and modern language models. I’m still building my understanding in these areas, but I enjoy studying how these systems behave and how they can be used in practical settings. My interests tend to fall at the intersection of data, high‑performance computing, and intelligent systems, and Kaggle gives me a place to experiment with those ideas.

Outside of data and AI, I’ve spent many years working with web technologies and content management systems. Drupal has been a consistent part of that work, from early versions through Drupal 10, and it continues to influence how I think about software structure and design.

Kaggle is one of the places where I try to bring these interests together, learn from others, and keep improving my skills at a steady pace.


 

Created LinkTree Profile for Darrell Ulm

https://linktr.ee/darrell_ulm 

My Linktree serves as a consolidated directory of my professional, academic, and creative profiles across the web. It includes a range of technical resources such as my Kaggle work, GitHub repositories, Drupal contributions, and SourceForge activity. I also provide access to my research presence through ORCID, Google Scholar, Web of Science, ResearchGate, DBLP, and archived papers from Kent State University.

In addition, the collection features several personal and publishing platforms, including WordPress, Blogspot, Weebly, Wix, and About.me, along with learning and presentation sites such as Codecademy and SlideShare. Social and interest‑based profiles, including Threads, Instagram, Tumblr, and Goodreads, are also represented. Together, these links offer a concise overview of my work, research engagement, and long‑term involvement in various technical and academic communities.

Tech Notes : Drupal, Ubuntu, PHP, MySQL, WebDevelopment, Short-List

This collection of tech notes is a personal repository for quick reference across development and server administration. It currently includes insights on Drupal performance optimization via MySQL indexing and modules like NodeQueue, alongside practical guides for Linux image optimization and CSS workflow with SCSS, Sass, and Gulp. Notes also cover setting up Symfony, optimizing PHP, and Drupal caching with Varnish. Explorations into AR toolkits and Drupal's evolution (D8 to D9, Twig theming, Headless Drupal, permissions) are present, as are Symfony learning resources and Drupal performance modules like AdvAgg. Local development with Docker and Kalabox is documented, alongside PHP upgrades, HTML archiving, Drupal 8 API, data migration, and specific Drupal 7 features (block caching, CKEditor). Server topics include PHP version management, Varnish setup, Memcached, SSL, PHP OpCode cache, MySQL Workbench, and installation guides for various software on Linux. Even desktop customization and notes on a Drupal 8 Google Books module, Rspec, Shopify theming, Semantic Scholar, and Apache Spark are included, concluding with Drupal 8 performance testing. More Drupal 8 notes are expected, but this already offers a broad technical overview.

Drupal, Development Technical Notes Update

This serves as a compilation of recent blog updates focused on Drupal development within an Ubuntu Linux environment, primarily intended for personal tech note consolidation. The listed entries cover a range of topics including general Drupal 8 development in PHP, an early look at a contributed Google Books module for Drupal 8, quick setup notes for Drupal web development on Ubuntu 16.04, technical configurations for Drupal 7, and tutorials specifically addressing Drupal 8 migration processes. These entries represent key technical notes from the past year, with a significant portion dedicated to Drupal, though other technology-related notes, including a larger collection currently residing on Tumblr, will be integrated at a later time for a more comprehensive overview.
