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 🌋
