// about
I'm Jianda Monique — a Full Stack Developer in training. I've worked as a Jr. Data Scientist, holistic coach, writer, musician, and multi-disciplinary artist based in CA and WA. My work lives at the intersection of data science, community care, and creative expression.
I developed data science skills working with the UCSF Epidemiology Team on public health modeling during COVID-19, and deepened that foundation as a 2021 Kaggle/Google BIPOC Data Fellow under mentors Prasun Kumar Mishra and Julia Elliott. The fellowship sparked a project I'm still building: a mutual aid resource directory for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ artists.
I've worked across the entertainment, nonprofit, education, and tech industries — from MP3.com to UCSF to Amazon — always finding ways to center community, creativity, and the belief that art heals.

// published work
A cyberpunk novel of mutual aid, analog soul, and the human spirit — penned by a human in 2020, published on March 4th, 2026. March Forth.
Volume I: Stasis · Series Book 1
In the hollowed-out silence of a near-future dystopia, protagonist They Them — a coder whose memory splits under pressure — fights to build a helper device for psycho-spiritual survival. Originally manifested as a prophetic audiobook time capsule, this is a tactile journey through analog grit, community care, and the enduring software of the human soul.
"Even in a world of Stasis, the human spirit can't be hard-coded."
🌿 Published March 4, 2026 — March Forth — a date that's a loving exhortation. ISBN: 9798224096664

The Mutual Aid project and others are unfunded and independent. If you believe in what this project is building — resources for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ artists and others needing support — any contribution helps. Or just share the story.
