Software Developer
With a dual major in Marine Science and Computer Science from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, my understanding of how to connect the two disciplines developed naturally as I learned new programming languages through research internships with Oregon State University, UW Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies, and NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.
I design and develop software for the FAR lab alongside Rob. We are developing ways to leverage edge computing for products built on acoustic and optic data collected by echosounders and shadowgraphs, respectively, mounted on underwater Slocum gliders operated by University of Alaska Fairbanks and University of South Florida St. Petersburg. I also assist other lab members with acoustic data processing from various fixed platforms and with model development.
