Coding: Do I Have a Color Pattern?

This is a quick project I’ve had in my mind for a while now. I’ve drawing and painting on and off for about a decade now. My style and preferences have changed quite a bit over the years. I’ve often wondered if I have a “style” per se? I definitely love to try a bunch…

Coding: A Numbers Guide to Women in Art History

As a female in tech, I am no stranger to sexist remarks. I’ve been on the receiving end of this since my teenage years. It’s almost a rite of passage for girls out there even in 2023. In my professional career, I have a whole collection of stories I could share. Aside from my career…

Coding: Books, Sarah J. Maas and Transformers

I love to read, a lot. It is rare to find me without a novel or kindle on my hand. In fact, I often can’t sit still and watch a show because I can’t keep my hands off my book. I was so excited to find this GoodReads dataset because for a while now I…

Coding: Take the Cache! How Caching Can Help ML Management

We’ve all heard about caching. Usually, we associate caching with web development (at least I did); a way to temporarily store data as you browse the internet. But, “temporarily” store data can be use on so many different applications outside of web development. Recently, I encountered an optimization problem where I had to run the…

Coding: Analyzing Three Years of Data in the Life of a Skincare Addict

I’ve always been a sucker for self-care. Put it in a pretty package and I’ll most likely buy it. Add the words balm or dewy, the chances of me buying it go up by 100%. A problem? Meh. A hobby? Maybe, ha! As a teenager, I was guilty of using the “favorites” of the early…

Coding: Guessing a Person’s Mood Based on Structured Text Data

IMPORTANT NOTE: Using syntax alone is NOT by any means a recommendable way to determine “feelings”. This is just intended as a fun exercise. It is not uncommon, at least, it hasn’t been uncommon in my years in data science that a stakeholder will come to you with the most impossible, unrealistic data need |…

Word clouds have easily become the new pie charts. For definition purposes, a world cloud a simply a way to visualize the word frequencies from a piece of text.

Coding: Reggeatoneros, Ranked by the Size of their Vocabulary

A while ago I saw this article from The Pudding where they ranked rappers based on the size of their song vocabulary. I love rap and the Puerto Rican equivalent, reggeaton, and I wanted to recreate a similar analysis for the genre.  Reggaeton was always considered a “low” quality music genre with incorrect Spanish, vulgar…

Coding: Making the Case For and Against Jupyter Notebooks

If you’re in the data science or machine learning field you have heard and, probably, used Jupyter notebooks. People love to love them, people love to hate them. Jupyter notebooks can be magnificent tools for data analysis, data story building and model testing.  They can even be great tools, if you’ve set them up correctly, for a development platform (see…

Coding: Navigating through #000000 and #ffffff: Color Theory in Python

Color is everywhere around us. It makes us feel certain ways. Sometimes it pushes to buy things, eat things – it often dictates our actions. Color usage is everywhere, in powerpoint, in infographics, in marketing, etc. One of the ways we can study color is through color theory. Color theory refers to how we perceive…
