Finley Stirk

Picture of Me I am a Final year undergraduate at the University of Cambridge studying Computer Science. I also work part time for Jetbrains as a campus ambassador for the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

I'm interested in planetary computing. After my first year I did a summer research internship at the University of Cambridge Planetary Computing Department where I built an open source tool for 3D printing terrain.

I love writing software for robotics and have worked on some cool projects such as a self playing chess board and a haunted typewriter.

I also enjoy analyzing prediction markets. I'm fascinated by how they quantify public uncertainty, as well as the structural inefficiencies that can be leveraged.

Projects

Topogmesh

An open source data visualisation tool which uses satelite and OpenStreetMap data to create 3D printable models of cities and terrain

Python Geospatial Meshes GDAL OSM

Automate

A robot designed to help people with motor disabilities play over the board chess using accessible inputs like eye gaze tracking and voice controls

String Art

String art is an art technique where you construct an image using only straight lines wrapped around nails on a circular board. In this project I created an algorithm to convert arbitrary images into string art
