Hello world! 👋
I'm Karina and I'm a creative technologist, software developer, and designer. I currently work as a new media exhibit technician for the Exploratorium in SF and I also freelance for startups under my own small agency (appropriately called KACHOW! LLC 🗯️ (1/7)
Day 2 of the Bay Area Maker Faire and she's still a hit!
Though she's tired and the front teats are struggling a bit. I really want to try air displacement as the next sensor type!
Day 10 of 14:
Check out the most recent Udder Mayhem write up!
Showing all the progress made in the last year. Made just in time for my QR code -> Linktree flow at my Maker Faire booth!

the moat is literally just caring about your work and being proud of your output and holy shit it does not seem to apply to 99% of people
Dude.
Why is Claude Code better at understanding what I'm asking for and 3D modeling than Autodesk Fusion 360's own AI assistant? Spent 3 hours with Fusion and still didn't get it done whereas Opus 5.5 did it in 10 minutes.
Probably would have taken me about an hour.
It's hard to keep your portfolio site up-to-date! Every few years, I give myself a challenge where I have to do a write-up or visual upgrade on my website every day for a couple of weeks.
Starting this today, wish me luck the next 14 days!
Day 8 of 14:
Wrote Laravel utilities and API endpoints digesting and serving info from a C codebase from 1996, created art assets in Illustrator/Photoshop, and wrote animations in PixiJs.
Damn, this interactive clock project was quite the adventure!

OK ngl I skipped 2 days because I was hungover from my bday, but we're back on it! Resuming 14 days of blog/portfolio updates with an easy one: My hornet cosplay from last year.
My remaining client ones are long so they might take a bit...

Chasing Stars in Shadow is a project by artist Joon Moon: a story about AI-adjusted shadow kids who come and go between 2D and 3D.
Augmented Shadow technique makes the flat shadows appear three-dimensional to the viewer.

Artists: but I don't want to lose my job. I love it.
Mathematicians: but I don't want to lose my job. I love it.
Economists: LONG HAVE I AWAITED THIS HOUR! DESTROY ME, EFFICIENCY, AND LET UTILIZATION-ADJUSTED TOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY RISE ON THE WIND OF MY ASHES!
I dunno about y'all, but I feel far less satisfaction producing anything with AI as I do doing it on my own, manually.
There's something humanly satisfying about the struggle and learning process that's lost. A sense of pride that you stuck it out and developed grit and skill.
