Open Source
Product Manager

In my 8+ years as a product manager, I am passionate about launching technical products that users love, from Python workflows for researchers to data governance suite for Enterprise customers. I've worked at the intersection of open source, open data, and open science, as well as in a fast-paced commercial startup environment. I also love giving workshops and talks, like this one from the Free and Open Source Software Developers Conference Europe (FOSDEM) 2020 (image on the right).

Coding

I first started programming during my PhD out of necessity, but soon started coding for fun. From learning R for data analysis to git and GitHub for collaborations, I realized that coding allows me to problem solve and work on fun puzzles. After grad school, I worked on an open source project to integrate biological data from multiple species, practicing my data science skills while learning about databases and APIs, and building my first website.

Fly Brains +
Open Science

Neuroscience has always fascinated me, leading me to get my PhD from Oregon Health and Science University in 2016. While in grad school, I found my passions for open science and advocacy (especially for women in science!). I also started coding by teaching myself R and Python for data analysis of fly brain proteins (image on left).
