Tools

I build open-source tools to make environmental and economic analysis more accessible. Here are some of the projects I've developed or contributed to.

askFIA

AI-powered natural language interface for querying USDA Forest Service FIA data. Ask questions in plain English, get forest answers. Powered by pyFIA and Claude.

pyFVS

Python implementation of the Forest Vegetation Simulator with 10 regional variants, taper-based volume calculations, and 500+ species configurations for individual tree growth and yield simulation.

gridFIA

Python API for USDA Forest Service BIGMAP 2018 data. Download species biomass rasters, store in Zarr format, and calculate diversity and biomass metrics at 30m resolution for 300+ tree species.

climate-zarr-slr

Climate data pipeline for analyzing climate's impact on population and income in a sea level rise context. NetCDF to Zarr conversion with county-level statistical analysis.

Open Source Contributions

I'm a strong advocate for open-source software in research. Good tools should be accessible to everyone, and open development leads to better science.
