I try to help researchers do impossible things with computers! My specialty is high-performance environments where reproducibility, maintainability, and long-term trust really matter. When I'm not cooking up something new or spoiling my cat, Ava, you'll see me tinkering in various git repos.

What I do

University of Iowa

I work as a Research Computing Specialist at the University of Iowa, supporting researchers with scientific software, high-performance computing (HPC) workflows, and the operational realities of running research-grade systems at scale.

A primary focus is support of structural biology and life sciences adjacent data processing in general. I'm also a big linux evangelist, and would be thrilled to introduce you to tools that give you more power and more control, approachable for any level of skill. Let me help you move faster!

If you have questions about how technology can help enable your research in new and creative ways, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]. I'm happy to discuss even the craziest ideas, and find ways to help you utilize our high end supercomputing services (Argon) and our centralized data storage facilities (LSS/RDSS) to best support your goals.

Independent work

I also run Quantum Dynamics Ventures (QDV) , a small independent research studio exploring ideas in computing and scientific research.

QDV exists to support exploratory research, promote the use of open tools whenever possible, and empower the next generation of independent scientific creators.
