I work at the intersection of ecology, phylogenetic and species-distribution modeling, and scientific computing. I build open-source tools in C++ and R that are fast enough for real datasets and reproducible enough for real science.

Recent work focuses on robust niche and distribution models, sensitivity analysis for ecological simulations, and AI-assisted workflows that keep researchers in the loop — backed by HPC-friendly implementations so the tools scale from a laptop to a cluster.

See a few selected projects below, the full project list, or my CV.

  • maxentcpp

    C++

    A header-light C++ implementation of MaxEnt for species distribution modeling. Designed to be fast on real ecological datasets and embeddable in larger pipelines.

  • xsdm

    R

    An R toolkit for explainable species distribution modeling — fitting, evaluating, and interpreting SDMs in a reproducible workflow that plays well with modern tidyverse pipelines.

  • sobol

    C++

    A small, fast C++ library for Sobol' sensitivity analysis. Useful for global sensitivity studies of ecological and other scientific simulations where Monte Carlo budgets matter.

  • nicher

    R

    An R package for ecological niche analysis. Currently in private development; documentation and a public release are planned.
