hi, welcome to my website!

I use this place to keep track of writing, updates, and things I’m learning about data, software, and internet culture.

About me

I’m interested in AI, data science, software, and digital preservation. I like building systems that make messy information easier to understand.

I care about preserving internet culture and making obscure information easier to find. The work I enjoy most combines technical work with creative communities, especially when the result helps people notice patterns, history, or context that might otherwise disappear.

Blog

This will be a place for longer notes, updates, and things I’m thinking through.

Little Updates

Wow, I never expected GitHub to be so... oddly complex. It was seriously a pain to set up the entire repository, but alas, I have managed to get it done! I'm very grateful for that as I can now consistently publish updates to the site.

Anyway, today is the day of Miku Expo 2026 in Grand Prarie. I'm quite excited about this event. I've waited MONTHS for this. I remember at the beginning of the school year, I said that all I needed to do was to just get to April. Now, I have! And I finally get to go. I hope things don't go wrong like the weather or better worse the Uber. I asked my friend about them and he said that they were safe, and I trust him on that.

The next things I want to try and do is to study R and more Python. Then, I'll want to upload my next repository showcasing small yet neat things. Maybe like a short reference of the most viewed VOCALOID songs from a .csv file? Who knows!

Introduction

So, I decided to finally turn the sodapines.dev domain into a proper website you can visit. I'm not sure whether I will keep this design as is. Otherwise, I really like it so far.

Anyway, I had my district senior luncheon today. Honestly, I didn't really like it. There was something off about these guys, especially the superintendent. If there is one thing that makes me happy, it's that I won't have to see any of these guys again in the future. Though, there is a speech that I will have to give during graduation. I talked with the principal and my teacher invitee. I sent my draft to the principal and let my teacher read the draft. She really liked it, so I will probably keep it as is.

Anyway, that is the end of my first blog on this website. I'll try and keep it updated and stuff, considering it will be on my GitHub page.

Email is the best place to reach me. GitHub is there for code and public stuff.
