Oceanographer building software for science, communities, and the spaces in between.

I founded Waveform Analytics in 2024 after more than a decade in ocean acoustics. I held graduate research positions (University of New Hampshire, University of Washington - Seattle), modeled marine animal noise exposure at JASCO Applied Sciences, and eventually realized I wanted to build the tools, not just use them.

My background is in marine acoustics and engineering, but what I actually do is build things: scientific analysis pipelines, software tools, community web apps, data workflows, documentation systems. I work across domains: marine science, civic tech, family tools — and hold the same standard across all of them.

I care about process as much as product. I follow spec-driven development, write tests, and document everything with the assumption that a future developer (or future me) will need to pick it up cold. Reproducibility isn't a bonus — it's the job.
