⛰️ I am an Earth scientist and software developer with a keen interest in deploying scalable software solutions for monitoring the Earth's surface using remote sensing, mapping technology and landscape evolution models.
🎓 My academic background is in sedimentology, fluvial geomorphology and remote sensing.
🛠️ I have been a web-developer since I left school, with experience developing applications and dashboards in React, Rails and Plotly/Dash. I am comfortable in the front end UX/UI space, server side and database layers.
🧑💻 Professionally, I have been developing numerical models, applications and algorithms to efficiently process Earth and space data at scale to solve problems in flood risk, natural capital mapping and land use change.
🐱 I like cats, real time strategy games, sketching and DIY!
