Hey there! I started out at the University of Washington as a research engineer, and now I've got the freelancer-for-startups bug. I do consulting that involves building APIs and modern device apps, as well as dabbling in embedded systems.
But my main interest is using data to understand anything and everything about the world. If you have problems that involve working with, cleaning, understanding, and visualizing data, then consider getting in touch.
I like iterating quickly and being highly communicative and clear about expectations. If you're a non-profit or for-good rather than for-profit entity, I donate some of my time to good causes, give me a ping and we can talk. For smaller projects with a well-defined scope, I can do a project-based fee.
Specialties:
* Python data science stack: pandas, matplotlib, lots of other data visualization libraries: <a href=".
* Node app stack: Node, React Native, Electron. I've developed and helped bring to market desktop and mobile apps for a startup on this stack: <a href="
* Javascript stack: D3, Coffeescript. I've made data dashboards and geographic data visualizations: <a href=".
* Scientific simulation: agent-based models, gamification. I wrote core pieces of an NSF-funded serious game which simulates DNA strand hybridization, and interned at Sandia National Labs modeling complex systems.
