About me

I’m a botanist and technology enthusiast based in San Francisco, California. My work sits at the intersection of ecology, data, and software — using technology to solve practical problems in the field. Over the years, I’ve built custom mobile data collection apps, developed GIS workflows, created interactive web maps, and used Python and APIs to make ecological data easier to collect, analyze, and share.

A big part of my work has been helping people use these tools effectively. I’ve trained volunteers, interns, and field teams on new technology, created educational materials, and translated complex scientific and technical concepts into clear workflows. I enjoy building things that make people’s work easier — whether that’s a better data collection system, a useful map, or a training resource that helps someone confidently use a new tool.
