Consulting

I help research groups and organizations get more out of their data, from messy spreadsheets to production databases.

What I can help with

• Research data infrastructure: PostgreSQL database design and administration, public APIs, cloud hosting, and automated DOIs.
• Data pipelines and quality: validation workflows, bulk uploads, and reproducible pipelines that catch problems before they spread.
• Open research software: R and Python packages, from first prototype to CRAN release and peer review.
• FAIR data: making datasets findable and reusable with metadata standards like FAIRe.
• Training: hands-on workshops and courses in R, Python, and data science. I’ve mentored over 1,000 students and taught workshops in English and Spanish.

Selected work

• Database administrator for the Neotoma Paleoecology Database
• Lead developer of the neotoma2 R package and the DataBUS upload toolkit
• Workshops at INQUA, AMQUA, Geotop-UQAM, and more (see the full list)
