Environmental Data Scientist + Hydrobiologist | R/Python/GEE | Ecological Modeling | Reproducible Pipelines

Profile Summary

I’m a hydrobiologist and environmental data scientist with 12+ years of experience delivering EIA/ITS instruments, aquatic biodiversity baselines, and multi-component monitoring programs across mining, energy, and infrastructure projects. I’ve worked on post-oil-spill ecological rehabilitation planning and on Human Health & Environmental Risk Assessments (ERSA), integrating evidence from fish, macroinvertebrates, plankton, and marine/freshwater benthos. My work combines field expertise with advanced analytics: R, Python, and Google Earth Engine for statistical ecology, spatial analysis, ecological modelling (e.g., occupancy and distance sampling support), and automated, reproducible reporting workflows. I’m used to high-traceability environments, managing complex datasets end-to-end (QA/QC, integration, visualization, interpretation) to support regulatory decision-making, conservation planning, and adaptive management. I also have experience leading technical teams and coordinating across stakeholders (consultancies, communities, and research institutions).
