I deleted my blog but I am doing some projects again so here's a landing page

Hi, I'm a social scientist, coder, data visualizer, and etc. You can find me on LinkedIn and BlueSky. I took my blog down a long time ago, but I'm occasionally doing little data projects these days. This landing page is a hub for them, and that's pretty much it!

• A replication of Ben Harris and Aaron Sojourner's work on media tone – this is a replication, in Python, of Harris and Sojourner's Stata code, with a data cron that fetches new data and updates data visualizations. It is updated quarterly to show how the sentiment of media coverage of the economy differs from sentiment predicted by economic fundamentals.
• Stock market tracker for Trump's 2nd term - just a goofy little thing that tracks the three major stock indices in Trump's second term and compares it to Biden's term. Updated nightly.
• Exploring gendered language in mass culture, the media, and Victorian literature - this is a really old natural language project I did where I created 6 large corpuses and analyzed how men and women are described in them. Parts of it don't really work anymore and it's a bit archaic generally, but I always liked it.

Here's a pic of me working on my guitar chords.
