Intro

I was postdoc at the Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics  until 2022, working in the field of nearby and extra galactic star formation. Now I've made an opportunity to branch out and am looking for what will come next. I have a penchant for developing new software in order to make connections between observable but untouchable systems.

My approach to most problems? Understand the underlying mechanics, collect the unknowns, and forward model into what we see. Where necessary I've lead the development of new software products to fill gaps in capabilities, and look forward to taking these skills in new directions.
