Building an Arithmetic Logic Unit in Alteryx

In 2017, I got quite engrossed in various circuit design games such as MHRD and Silicon Zeroes. One thing led to another, and I ended up creating an Arithmetic Logic Unit emulation in Alteryx, a data analytics platform that I spend a lot of time with due to work. ;) While this project started off as an elaborate practical joke to surprise colleagues, I learned a lot adapting the NAND 2 Tetris material to an unusual environment.

This project culminated in a trilogy of articles that I wrote for the Alteryx Engine Works blog, which can be found here:
