I'm a geographer 🌐 turned information manager 📈 turned epidemiologist 🦠 turned data scientist in #agrotech 🧑‍🌾🌱🚜.

I'm currently working as a senior data scientist at @syngenta where I focus on computational reproducibility of research, mainly using #Rstats. Majority of my development moved to closed source projects on GitLab.

This space works mostly as an archive of my previous academic work at the University of Bern 🇨🇭 and The University of Queensland 🇦🇺 and will be (infrequently 😴) updated with contributions to few projects.
