I’m an marine fish ecologist masquerading as a bioinformatician/geneticist. I studied a coastal shark species for my Masters degree and all the tuna species for my PhD.
Over the years I developed an affinity for the technical and analytical parts of research, along with a [some would argue] pedantic attention to detail in presentation aesthetics. As a result, I design 99% of all of my graphics, templates, gifs from scratch.
I also adhere to modern approaches to research reproducibility, so I lean heavily on integrating GitHub, Jupyter Notebooks, conda environments, and Snakemake workflows for ~100% transparency.
Besides work, I enjoy playing guitar, cooking, hiking, swimming, rock climbing, scuba diving, relaxing and doing nothing, coding in Julia, carpentry, and the occasional metroidvania or RPG video game.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
- Julia
- R
- Python
- Bash
- Jupyter
- Snakemake
- SLURM
- ddRAD-seq
- Haplotag linked-reads
- Oxford Nanopore
- GitHub Actions
