In 2022, applicants were tasked with creating a Swift Playgrounds app project on the topic of your choice to showcase their passion for coding. Here’s how Ryan describes his winning submission.

GradientDescend is an interactive playground that showcases gradient descent, a neural network optimization algorithm. It starts off with by showing gradient descent on a loss function with the shape of a simple parabola in two dimensions, then goes to a more complex 2d function example, and finally shows an example of gradient descent happening in three dimensions.
