Hello! I’m an ecologist and data scientist working at the University of Arizona in Tucson. I’m currently a postdoctoral fellow with the National Institute of Health (NIH), but as that position is coming to a close, am on the job market looking for new projects and challenges.

Throughout my fellowship at the University of Arizona, I’ve become increasingly interested in data science, and have taken the plunge in applying some of the techniques I’ve developed a scientist to outside projects. I decided to start this blog to detail and record some of my experiences with these projects, and document my journey into data science.

If you’re mainly interested in my research as an ecologist (on bugs and immune systems and tasty plants), you can check out my main website. Though this blog will have bits and bobs of my science, it’s mostly about data science, side-projects and tools and tricks I’ve used.

I hope you enjoy! And please feel free to drop me a line any time if you have questions about code, techniques, or comments!

Cheers!
