I solve problems systematically with data, research, and software.
I'm a remote research-software engineer for tilt (Theia Finance Labs), and editor of peer-review sofware at rOpenSci.
I help research teams with the whole process:
- Communication: Translating research ideas to reproducible examples and testable requirements.
- Data engineering: Gathering and structuring useful data.
- Back-end development: Implementing valuable tools as quickly and cheaply as possible.
- Front-end development: Designing intuitive user-interfaces to empower users.
- DevOps: Building workflows to continuously integrate and deliver the system (CI/CD).
- Technical Writing: Writing documentation that is clear, correct, complete and maintainable.
- Software architecture: Evolving the system's architecture as necessary to allow growth.
- Mentoring: Empowering other developers to do these things themselves.
Previously:
- I worked remotely for 2° Investing Initiative (Germany) where I built 'r2dii': A collection of R packages for banks to analyze climate scenarios (website, CRAN).
- I worked at the Smithsonian's NMNH (USA) for ForestGEO where I built 'fgeo': A collection of R packages to analyze forest diversity and dynamics (website, CRAN).
Favorite tools:
- Cloud provider: DigitalOcean (the only paid tool in my full stack).
- OS: Ubuntu.
- Containers: Docker.
- Docker images: rocker.
- Terminal flavor: oh my zsh.
- Version control: git.
- Git host: GitHub.
- Git client for GitHub: gh CLI.
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions.
- Project management: GitHub projects.
- Programming language: R.
- IDE: vim, RStudio.
- R packages: From r-lib, tidyverse, rstudio, and ropensci.
- I'm an editor for rOpenSci's software peer-review program.
- I share my work on YouTube, blog posts, and public repositories (pinned to my profile are contributions to software peer review, and to educational and research software).
- I researched marine ecology as a post-doc at The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (Panama), as a PhD student at The University of Queensland (Australia), and as a graduate student at the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina).
