I'm a computational scientist working for the Computational Modelling Services (CMS) group within NCAS and based at the Dept. of Meteorology at Reading.
I mostly work on open-source tooling related to the CF Conventions, for example cf-python and cf-plot and on delivering documentation infrastructure for model inter-comparison, notably at CMIP6 and beyond.
My work generally involves a mixture of software engineering; data and metadata science and analysis; infrastructure development and maintenance; user support and training; and high-performance computing (HPC).
