Calendar

I keep a light, predictable schedule for advising and collaboration. If you’re working on scientific software, reproducible workflows, or research computing, here’s when I’m reachable and the kinds of work I can help with.

Current status

At capacity — I’m not taking on new long-term projects right now, but I’m happy to answer quick questions during office hours. I reply to email within ~2 business days for all ticketing systems.

Weekly office hours

Drop-in office hours are held Fridays (US Eastern Time). Other days are by appointment only.

What I support

I’m glad to help with a focused set of areas:

  • Scientific computing consulting — advising through the Ray and Stephanie Lane Center for Computational Biology at Carnegie Mellon University on computational methods, reproducibility, and scalable research workflows.
  • Teaching & training — workshops and one-on-one mentoring for developers and data scientists getting started with research software and good engineering practices.
  • Open-source contributions — help with open-source scientific tooling, packaging, and reproducible workflows.

If your request falls outside these areas, feel free to reach out anyway — I’ll point you to someone who can help.
