I'm a physicist and software engineer. I contribute to open source projects like Xarray (as a core developer) and various other projects within the Pangeo sphere.
Currently I work at [C]Worthy, a non-profit focused research organisation building tools to verify that ocean-based carbon dioxide removal approaches would be effective and safe.
Previously I worked as a Research Software Engineer and Oceanographer at Columbia University. I worked with Ryan Abernathey as part of the Climate Data Science Lab, and as part of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.
Before that I completed a PhD in computational plasma physics for nuclear fusion, where I first got interested in the challenges of processing large amounts of scientific data.
I'm interested in climate change as a physical problem and as a societal challenge, and in accelerating scientists' everyday work through better software tools.
