$ cat about.md

I'm a data scientist at the Canadian Space Agency and a Project Manager Lead at the Centre for Analytics, Informatics and Research (CAIR) at Memorial University of Newfoundland, where I'm also a PhD researcher. My work sits at the intersection of data science, computer vision and high-performance computing: turning large research datasets into reliable, reproducible tools.

Before this, I was a technical investigator at Meta and a software engineer across the UK, Switzerland and North America.
