I write software and collect carnivorous plants! I used to be a biologist and studied ecology and evolution in plant systems. Most of my work these days is in Scala but I also write a bit of Rust and Python.

At Instrumental I'm working to get customers meaningful insights from their manufacturing data. I'm writing backend infrastructure for our webapp and machine learning platform.

I used to work at Strateos where I automated laboratory operations to make science more reproducible. I wrote software to design and execute declarative scientific workflows.
