Background

I got in to coding pretty late in my undergraduate degree, but through my MBA program and work as a Reservoir Engineer I continued learning in my free time. I work in the Energy industry, which is going through a digital revolution that needs more technically minded people more than ever. I want to help others learn coding that can improve their own work and make their life easier, because that is what coding and automation is for.

Projects

Currently I am working on open source applications specific to petroleum evaluation and reservoir engineering because students or private engineers shouldn't have to pay large licensing fees for good software. I want to build the tools for engineers to improve their workflow and reduce friction in petroleum engineering. I am also contributing to other open source projects where I can.

PetroAlchemy

PetroAlchemy is a free desktop application to perform the basics of any decline curve analysis and financial review.

@mwentzWW

Any money donated will be used to get me get better hardware and software to develop with. I can build and distribute for Windows, but hope to get a mac (cheapest possible) to build for mac users also. This money would also be used code signing my products which require annual fees. Any donation is welcome, thank you!
