I'm a research software engineer specializing in:
- πΊ spatial analysis
- π€ decisions support applications
- β¬ 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:
- ππ Software engineering in Python, Javascript (HTML + CSS, etc too), R, Perl, and more, with expertise with numerous frameworks and libraries;
- π₯ DevOps with server provisioning and security
- π Data visualization with interactive and static graphics
