Observe
- Read context before jumping to solutions.
- Use field and human signals, not only metrics.
- Translate complexity into grounded, shared language.
CV - biology, storytelling, and software
I am a biologist and photographer who also builds software. The common thread is practical curiosity: observe carefully, run experiments, interact with people and systems, then build useful tools that make insight and care easier in the real world.
Example of current learning-by-building: after years of calls and podcast sessions using headphones and microphones, I started an audio-tech track and got an audio dev board to prototype ideas.
How I Work
Experiment
- Prototype quickly and iterate from real feedback.
- Test assumptions in small, low-risk loops.
- Treat uncertainty as data, not noise.
Build
- Ship practical tools when there is a clear need.
- Prefer maintainable, web-native architecture.
- Connect technical output to human outcomes.
Skill Constellation
Biology and ecology lens
- Systems thinking grounded in living environments.
- Comfort with messy, real-world observations.
- Strong pattern-recognition from field-oriented work.
Programming and technical practice
- Web-native implementation mindset with performance awareness.
- Interest in Rust/WASM workflows for focused tooling.
- Builder attitude for custom workflows and internal utilities.
Visual communication
- Photography-driven attention to framing and narrative clarity.
- Ability to communicate technical ideas through story and image.
- Sensitive documentation of people, animals, and place.
Collaboration and care
- Calm, trust-building communication style.
- Cross-domain translator between technical and non-technical teams.
- Service-oriented mindset from care work and community practice.
Roles That Fit
Research Software / Data Product Roles
Work where scientific thinking and software delivery meet: prototyping tools, shaping data workflows, and helping teams move from questions to usable systems.
Web-native Product Engineering
Build lightweight, resilient interfaces and utilities with clear user value, strong performance habits, and transparent architecture.
Cross-disciplinary Builder Positions
Roles that benefit from someone who can combine biological context, visual storytelling, and practical programming in one loop.
Creative-Technical Collaboration
Projects in media, education, science communication, or mission-driven organizations where technical outputs need human-centered narratives.
Long-term Direction
Near term
Keep shipping small web-native and WASM-friendly tools that improve research, communication, and care workflows.
Mid term
Consolidate into roles where product, data, and field reality are connected, with room for experimentation and cross-functional ownership.
Long term
Develop a coherent ecosystem of tools and projects across ecology, behavior, communication, and audio-tech exploration.
