Hi there 👋

I am currently working as a Cloud Engineer at Development Seed. I previously worked as the Open Source Lead at CarbonPlan, a postdoctoral researcher for the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, and a scientist for the federal government 🧑‍💻. I completed a PhD researching underwater volcanoes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program 🌋

Software:

• Generic Mapping Tools - A collection of command-line tools for manipulating geographic and Cartesian data sets (including filtering, trend fitting, gridding, projecting, etc.) and producing high-quality illustrations and animations 🌍
• PyGMT - A Pythonic Interface for the Generic Mapping Tools 🌎
• Xbatcher - Batch generation from Xarray datasets
• Ndpyramid - Pyramid generation using Xarray and Zarr
• eddy-footprint - Eddy covariance footprint modeling using Xarray

Teaching:

• 2024 SciPy Xarray Tutorial - A four-hour workshop on "Xarray: Friendly, Interactive, and Scalable Scientific Data Analysis", which involved reviewing a curated set of examples that prepared students for complex real-world data analysis tasks.
• 2023 EarthScope GMT for Geodesy course - An annual short course designed to teach the use of GMT 6 in geodesy using UNIX shell scripting, including processing and mapping of various datasets related to geodesy.
