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 on an interagency research team in state government — 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 an interagency research team in state government. 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.
