I did a postdoc with CSIRO Mineral Resources working on data science approaches to large scale geochemistry and petrology problems,
but mainly ended up swerving into research software development (cue pyrolite).
These days, I work on a range of research software development and data science focused aspects of our geoscience projects.
I work with a bunch of spatial, spectral, geochemical, mineralogical data, including a decently long list of microanayltical data and imaging systems.
A decent amount of this work is around i) writing (Python) software to read obscure and proprietary formats, ii) tools to process and view it, and
iii) putting this to use in [insert various geological usecases here].
I'm from the bush and when the chance arose, I left the city behind for a quieter life (I principally work remotely).
I'm a dad.
I'm rennovating a 100 y.o. Californian Bunglalow.
I'm reasonably proficient with timber.
I enjoy good coffee.
Where time and motivation permit (less so lately) I lift heavy circles.
