I am a researcher using data science and new technologies (eDNA, remote sensing, big data, bioacoustics, etc.), along with ecological know-how, to address environmental challenges. I currently work with a great team at a biodiversity intelligence startup as lead scientist in biodiversity informatics. I value collaboration and helping out aspiring ecologists. So, feel free to contact me. Peruse my Publications page to learn more about my research.

See my GitHub for potentially useful science-related things. I also enjoy birding, hiking, skiing, camping, growing veggies, and playing music.
