My pinned #introduction was outdated, so here's an update. I'm a scientific programmer and educator who mostly writes :rstats: code. I currently work as the lead engineer at @grantwitness.org where I mostly maintain a bunch of data wrangling code and occasionally use it in analyses. I also mentor data scientists for @Posit Academy. My background is in plant chemical ecology and population ecology and for my PhD I studied #tea and did field work in China. I love tea and practice #GongFuCha when I can. I love #foraging and tasting new things. I'm learning #woodworking and trying to not be a perfectionist at it. I currently live in #Tucson but the #BayArea will always be my home.
