Hello, my name is Sanika. Welcome to my site.

I write code and do all the paraphernalia surrounding it.

In my free time, you will find me running, reading, listening to podcasts, scrapbooking, or, much to the annoyance of those around me, singing. If you find me on any social media outside of LinkedIn, GitHub and Goodreads, it probably isn’t me.

Things I care about

Time is running out. Climate action is not optional.

I am reworking my website. Will add more context soon.

Having good health is having the freedom of expression.

I am reworking my website. Will add more context soon.

We are what we consume.

I am reworking my website. Will add more context soon.

Art is the distillate of the human experience. That being said, not all art is created equal. Not all art is good art. The same applies to other “content.”

Algorithms simply must not be allowed to dictate what we eat, what our brain eats.

Not all tech is good tech.

I am reworking my website. Will add more context soon.

Do we really need AI for every. darn. thing? Also, algorithms again… Why can we not decide what we create and what we consume without paying any heed to what a machine thinks we should?

Subscribing is not owning.

I am reworking my website. Will add more context soon.

I find myself becoming increasingly analog, increasingly valuing physical media. There is some digitisation that is inescapable, indeed it is useful. As for everything else… Is it really worth it to trade in the freedom of choice, of choosing what you read, watch, view, think about and when you do it for something so fickle as convenience?
