As a computer scientist with the United States Geological Survey, I’ve specialized in designing and implementing scalable authentication systems, integrating with external identity providers such as AzureAD and Login.gov, and developing and implementing Angular and R packages to utilize Open ID Connect. Through this work, I've deepened my understanding of security best practices, focusing on OWASP principles to ensure robust, secure solutions.
Born in Alberta, Canada, I moved to Fairbanks, Alaska at a young age. There, I grew up and pursued my academic interests at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), earning dual Bachelor's of Science degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. I furthered my studies with a Master of Science in Statistics. During my master's program, I interned at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where I continued to contribute for two years after graduation. Currently, I work with the United States Geological Survey, focusing on full-stack development and security.
NABat is a multi-national, multi-agency coordinated bat monitoring program across North America.
This collaborative bat monitoring program is made up of an extensive community of partners across the continent who use standardized protocols to gather data that allow us to assess population status and trends, inform responses to stressors, and sustain viable populations.
