About Me

I'm a scientist, probabilistic programmer, and research software engineer.

I passionately advocate for open source software and contribute to many open source projects, especially in the Julia language, including:

• ArviZ: exploratory analysis of statistical models

• Manifolds.jl: algorithms and statistics on manifolds

• ChainRules.jl: generic automatic differentiation rules

• e3fp: 3D molecular fingerprinting
