Research platforms
Standing up and governing Posit Team on Snowflake — environments, access, promotion workflows and the docs that make them usable.

I build the platforms, pipelines and guardrails that let public-sector researchers do careful work with sensitive data — in R, Python, Snowflake and Posit Team.
Most of my work is connecting things that weren't designed to connect — systems, agencies, datasets, people — without losing track of who's allowed to see what.
Research Systems Specialist at the Oregon Department of Human Services — part data scientist, part platform admin.
Standing up and governing Posit Team on Snowflake — environments, access, promotion workflows and the docs that make them usable.
Probabilistic matching and identity resolution across agencies, designed so data can be shared without over-sharing.
Taking models out of notebooks and into versioned, documented APIs with vetiver and plumber.
Technical notes, data work inside state government, navigating the world as a neurodivergent adult, and the occasional game off the clock.
Government data work is mostly trust work. The tooling is how you earn it.
I'm part of Oregon Enterprise Data Analytics, a shared-services research team within ODHS's Office of Performance, Policy and Research, co-funded by the Oregon Health Authority. My job sits between infrastructure, governance and research tooling.
Here I write about that work, about what it's like doing data science inside state government, and occasionally about neurodivergence and the tabletop games I run on the side.
