My Mission
Building open geospatial data and tools to support positive changeBiography
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.
- 2022 UNAVCO 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.
- 2022 EGU Short Course: Crafting beautiful maps with PyGMT – A short course geared towards geoscientists interested in creating beautiful maps using Python.
- 2021 ESWN Workshop Professional Development Workshop: Developing Free and Open Source Software with PyGMT – A professional development workshop dedicated to increasing the participation of people from underrepresented groups in open source communities with a focus on software related to Earth Science and growing the community of PyGMT contributors.
- 2021 UNAVCO GMT for Geodesy course – A 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.
- 2021 ESVI REU Program – Intro to MATLAB and Git Version Control – A workshop designed to teach basics of Git Version Control and scientific programming in MATLAB to REU students at the Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
