I'm an interdisciplinary researcher currently working in industry as a data scientist. My background includes zoology, wildlife and fisheries, and computer science. I've been programming in a variety of high-level languages since the early 1980s, and work in assembly languages as needed for particular projects. I've worked as a contractor for the US Navy and Department of Energy, and as an employee of the State of Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. I've done programming in the aerospace industry as well as in various academic contexts. I've worked on research involving invertebrate meiofauna, human anesthesiology, fin whale physiology, prairie chicken vocalizations, dolphin sound production, marine mammal hearing, sage grouse acoustics, manatee mortality, and the evolution of intelligent behavior in digital organisms.
