A few things I have made with data
Selected data stories
07 projects · 2025–2026
I make these projects to understand things I care about. Climate data helps me grasp what Pacific communities are living through. My Spotify history takes me back to the year I finished my bachelor’s thesis. I always learn something while making them. Maybe one will make you curious too.

The ring of fire
What do 358,673 earthquakes reveal about the shape, depth, and pulse of the Ring of Fire?
An interactive visual essay about the uneven horseshoe of earthquakes around the Pacific, the tectonic processes beneath it, and the limits of drawing a single Ring of Fire boundary.
Living with a changing climate across the Pacific
How does climate exposure look when a region’s contribution is measured at global scale?
A careful journey through emissions, ocean warming, cyclones, reef heat stress, rainfall, sea level, disasters, and the changing electricity mix across the Pacific.
Bird migration
How did three gulls from the same coast find different ways south?
Three gulls from the same coast left up to 78 days apart and wintered in different countries. Their journeys show how timing and stopovers can split a shared migration route.
Living with volcano
How close do millions of people actually live to an active volcano?
About 60 million people live within 30 kilometres of a Holocene volcano on Java. The number shows the scale of exposure, while distance alone cannot describe volcanic risk.
Growing, but not yet steady
When does a growing microbial population actually become steady?
At a 1 to 10,000 dilution, effective steady state lasted about 90 minutes, while a 1 to 100 culture never reached it. The result shows why cloudiness alone can make a changing population appear steady.
My year in music
What can a year of listening history remember that I forgot?
My listening reached 187.7 hours in July, more than twice the spring average, then eased after I moved to Poland. The pattern turns a year of Spotify history into a record of thesis pressure and changing routines.
One soup, many islands
How can one dish keep the same name while changing from island to island?
Soto Kebumen and Soto Seger Boyolali share eleven recorded ingredients and differ only by galangal. Their similarity shows that names and geography do not always predict how a bowl is made.
The full collection
Project directory
The selected stories above are only one part of my work. This directory also brings together earlier coding experiments, research and fieldwork, teaching, mentoring, and community projects.
Tools, dashboards & experiments
Apart from storytelling, here are a few other things I have built with data and code.
Research & fieldwork
Projects grounded in environmental microbiology, biodiversity, field observation, and spatial analysis.
Teaching & community
Education, mentoring, outreach, and capacity-building projects created with students and communities.
Some of these projects are less about code and more about learning with others through teaching, mentoring, and community work.
