About Me
Hi there! I’m a student from Japan who is passionate about web design and application development. Recently, I’ve developed a strong interest in earthquakes and disaster prevention.
My Start in Programming
When I was in 4th grade, I discovered programming through a platform called Scratch. I learned the basics by creating games and apps there, which laid the foundation for my later projects, including earthquake-related development.
My Challenge in Web Design
My curiosity about programming led me to start creating websites with HTML. Initially, my designs weren’t great, but by studying other sites for inspiration, I gradually honed my skills.
Discovering Earthquakes
My interest in earthquakes began with the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. That day, I was at my mother’s family home preparing dinner when the house suddenly shook violently, and emergency alerts blared. When I opened the emergency earthquake alert software,JQuake, it displayed "Maximum intensity 7." This experience significantly deepened my fascination with earthquake observation.
Developing Earthquake Information Tools
My first earthquake-related tool was "EarthSaidBOT." While it had many shortcomings due to my inexperience in design and implementation, I have improved it over time by gaining more experience. Currently, I’m running a relay server that aggregates data from multiple sources, working to enhance the accuracy and stability of earthquake information delivery. This allows me to provide timely and reliable updates.
Note: This is operated within the scope of personal use in compliance with DM-D.S.S's guidelines.
That earthquake profoundly changed the way I view earthquakes.
