Kenny Shen

I'm a programmer based in Singapore. I tend to work with tools that are available and appropriate, but have a bias towards Haskell, Rust and other functional/typed languages. I'm currently working full-time at Anapi.

Outside of work, I'm mainly working on finishing my part-time studies (Mathematics) at Open University, building electronic projects (mostly audio related) as well as solving puzzles.

Functional things

• Sums of products (and carbs) ^{Fun with representations}
• Digging into GHC extensions - TypeApplications ^{Providing type arguments explicitly}
• Power sets fun ^{Generating power sets in Haskell}
• Monad transformers ^{A short introduction on exception handling}
• Deploying a Haskell application ^{A simple deployment workflow with CircleCI and AWS Beanstalk}

Tinkering things

• PlayDOH ^{Learning all about DNS over HTTPS}
• Commons Host ^{Open source static hosting and CDN}
• SSA to SRT conversion tool ^{A simple (and purposeful) sketch in C}
• CLI tools ^{A growing list of my favorite CLI tools}

Typing things

• Typing adventures ^{Writing briefly about keyboards and typing on them}
• Iris ^{Building a split fanned-ortho keyboard}
• Kinesis Advantage ^{An arcade button mod for better typing}

Hardware things

Single board computers have become somewhat of a thing around the house me of late.

• Odroid XU4 Beowulf cluster ^{A workstation experiment}
• Odroid XU4 ^{A little CTF station}
• Raspberry Pi ^{Streaming music via Spotify/Soma}
• OneRNG ^{An Open Source entropy generator}

I shared recently at Hack and Tell about how I got around to DIYing audio. The slides are here and the recording can be found here.

• A tiny dipole experiment ^{Continuing experiments with full range drivers WIP}
• Novar Spud ^{A sweep spud tube amplifier}
• Frugel-Horn Mk3 ^{A pair of single driver rear loaded horn speakers}
• Open baffle Betsy ^{A pair of open baffle full range speakers}
