Hi there 👋

I love making data useful to people! My skills are best in data manipulation, systems administration/engineering, and untangling complicated data/lineages.

Recently I’ve been busy with work and starting graduate school but thankfully I’m back in a position where I can start updating my projects again. Keep an eye out for new content and check out my resume in the meantime. If you’re intersted in something I haven’t posted yet, send me an email and I’ll be happy to talk!

Outside of work and school I enjoy tea, immersive experiences, and my data side-hobby is datasets of cultural institutions.

In addition to being a guide on running Collabora Office/Online as a package instead of a Docker image, this is the first blog version of my late night rants in the #rit-foss Freenode channel.

📝 Server Setup pt. 2 - Host Setup & Networking

It’s time to install everything and do some tweaks to make life nicer. Also, a list of issues I encountered and how to go about resolving them. I’m going to use a lot of links to skip over most of the installation process, it’s fairly well documented (and the configuration is the more interesting part).

📝 Server Setup pt. 1 - What I'm working with

This is the start of the documentation for servers. As such, I figured it’d be best to give the background info for what I’m working with.

📝 State of the Empire - 2017Nov

So it’s about time that I wrote a post here. Admittedly, this blog has been “live” but unlisted for several weeks, so it’s rather overdue. So, to get started, I’m going to overview what I’m up to and what you (hopefully) should be seeing soon. Over the summer I built 2 computers, one of which is a server. After a lot of pain getting them working for my ambitious plans, I’ve decided to redo the server.

About

I love making data useful to people! My skills are best in data manipulation, systems administration/engineering, and untangling complicated data/lineages. Most recently, I started graduate school at The University of Texas at Austin for a Masters of Science in Information Studies, with a specialization in Data Science. Previously, I was the Collections Information Specialist at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, where I worked on projects cleaning and repairing metadata in SQL and managing the data pipeline to the website.
