About
I work at the intersection of geospatial technologies, machine learning, and environmental impact. I'm passionate about leveraging technology to drive positive environmental change, with a focus on wildland fire management and earth observation. With a strong background in software development and a deep love for the outdoors, I bring both technical depth and personal motivation to this work.
If you're working on similar projects or share an interest in these areas, I'd love to connect and explore potential collaborations.
