I'm a research software engineer specializing in:

• 🗺 spatial analysis
• 🤔 decisions support applications
• ⬆ and optimization modeling

especially for water, environmental, and agricultural questions in California and the western United States.

In support of this, I do full stack engineering with skills including:

• 📀🐍 Software engineering in Python, Javascript (HTML + CSS, etc too), R, Perl, and more, with expertise with numerous frameworks and libraries;
• 🖥 DevOps with server provisioning and security
• 📊 Data visualization with interactive and static graphics
• 🗺 Spatial analysis, visualization, and teaching in both open source and proprietary toolchains
• 📁 ETL pipelines and data management for research and applications too small for large data management platforms.

Check out the pinned repositories below, but in addition, here are some other cool public repositories I've worked on:

• ArcMap/ArcGIS Pro Python Mapping Compatibility Layer (Amaptor)
• McMurdo Oceanographic Observatory: API and kiosk application, sensor communication
• Groundwater Nitrate Modeling Decision Support: Backend API
• Environmental Flows Optimization: Application
• PISCES Fish Range Data Downscaling
• Groundwater Nitrate Modeling: Data Portal, Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs
