--- title: Welcome date: 2026-01-30 published: true tags: [] --- Welcome to my little corner of the Internet! My name is Jim Shepich (@epicshepich). I like to introduce myself as a jack-of-all-trades with a Master's in data science. My main interests include STEM, martial arts (especially jūjutsu), sci-fi and fantasy, tabletop and video gaming, cartoons and comics, and DIY, but I also love to branch out and learn new things! My dream is to become "The Most Interesting Man in the World." This website started as a way for me to exercise and showcase my skills with vanilla HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and PHP. Now, it's just a matter of filling the site with content! My vision for this website is for it to serve as a gift to my future reincarnated self (if that's what happens) — a way to pass on the little tips and tricks, bits of wisdom, resources, and treasures I've accumulated over the course of my life (think _new game plus_). And if some other kindred spirits find something here that helps them on their journey, that's a bonus!
