I'm a software engineer based in Denver. I love nature and art.
I'm a software engineer based in Denver, Colorado. I've been helping build customer analytics & CRM activation tools for marketers with Custora since 2015.
I taught myself how to code and further studied how to build stuff at App Academy. Before that, I worked in avian field biology and leading outdoor programming for adults with developmental disabilities.
In 2012 I graduated from Bowdoin College in my home state of Maine, where I studied biology and spent a lot of time researching an amphibious fish.

It harnesses avian demographic data collected by citizen scientists from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's eBird database, assembling quizzes and detailed information using audio recordings from Xeno-canto's library, photos from Flickr, and detailed descriptions from Wikipedia. Chickadee allows users to custom-tailor their experience, studying birds from their regions of choice— at national, state/provincial, and local/county levels.
