I am a Senior Open Source Scientific Python Developer at the Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS) at UC Berkeley. My background is in computer science, mathematics, and statistics, with degrees from Cornell and Berkeley. As a founding member of the scientific Python ecosystem, my primary focus is on the development and sustainability of open-source, community-owned scientific software tools.

I serve on the steering council of NetworkX and am a core developer of scikit-image. In the past, I was an early contributor to NumPy, SciPy, and scikit-learn. I co-founded several influential initiatives to advance open and reproducible research:

• The Scientific Python project to better coordinate computational tools across scientific domains.
• The nonprofit NumFOCUS to promote open practices in research, data, and scientific computing.
• The Neuroimaging in Python project to develop cutting-edge tools for brain imaging data analysis.
