princess going digital

Nikki

I've been making websites since 2019, but it wasn't until 2025 when I started working on a music fansite (and currently fanblog) that I really got interested in fullstack web development and computers much more heavily. From there, I saw the logo for the Gleam functional programming language and haven't looked back since. Currently, I'm motivated to learn everything from making small custom tools to docker and self-hosting. I hope to document my journey through writing and improving site design.

Title

The site name comes from a Deftones song from Diamond Eyes (2010), but has also come to symbolize my time on both macOS and Linux.
