A cat & plant loving data scientist with a background in environmental science focusing on air quality.

I am an expert R developer with nearly 10 years of experience and am the creator of AQmap, the primary resource for real-time observations of atmospheric fine particulate matter across Canada.

In my current role, I produce software tools to connect the best possible data to air quality forecasters and Canadian citizens in a usable and enjoyable way so they can protect their lives and the lives of others during air quality events.

On the side I am working on a few R packages related to air quality data science. You can find them here and here.
