I work at the intersection of environmental science, data analysis, and software development, building tools that help translate complex information into action. My background is in climate change ecology in marine systems, but my interests extend broadly to data-driven problem solving and decision-support.

Here you’ll find examples of my research, my teaching and outreach, and a selection of data science and software projects I’ve built along the way.

I’m a continual learner and a perpetual side project doer. If you see anything of interest, please get in touch.
