    Almost There: The Final Compression

    I’m finishing a full Flickr migration—restoring display names through the API, converting legacy HTML into Gutenberg blocks, rebuilding maps and Exif data, and compressing 1.6 GB of images into a sustainable archive without losing attribution or detail. Read More

    Reclaiming Flickr: Owning My Photos Again

    Importing my Flickr archive became more than a data migration. It turned into a full reconstruction project—mapping IDs, rebuilding albums, extracting EXIF data, and using AI to enrich thousands of images—transforming dormant backups into a searchable, living archive. Read More

    Where I Lived, Who I Became

    I’m building a living archive of the places I’ve lived, blending memory, documents, and my mother’s final journal. As I fill in the gaps, I’m learning not just where I lived—but how I became who I am. Read More

  • Delving into new technologies

    Delving into new technologies

    While exploring early streaming media, I tested the ASF format after buying a budget video camera. Originally shared via NetShow, the clip was later preserved as a GIF, capturing a moment when web video felt experimental and full of promise. Read More
