🌄Hi there!
I’m a PhD researcher focused on improving the interoperability and accessibility of livestock and public health data. My work involves designing data pipelines, metadata frameworks, and graph-based systems to support more effective data discovery and integration. I’m also interested in exploring practical data governance solutions that identify and address the core issues creating friction, both in data pipelines and in the teams that use them.
I prioritize intellectual honesty, clarity, and practicality in my work. I’m intentional about building systems that are not just technically robust, but usable in real-world settings. I’m particularly interested in sustainable approaches to data infrastructure that support long-term use, adaptability, and meaningful impact, while minimizing unnecessary complexity and stay grounded in explainable, transparent approaches.

My research explores how we can make animal health and production data more accessible, interoperable, and usable, particularly across international systems. My work focuses on operationalizing data governance principles to improve the quality, discoverability, and reusability of livestock data.
I am particularly interested in using graph databases to model the relationships between datasets, metadata, and vocabularies from open intergovernmental and national sources. By developing frameworks and digital infrastructure that supports metadata-driven search and classification, my goal is to enable more consistent, interoperable access to data within a fragmented global data landscape. I aim to align my work principles emphasizing responsible, ethical, and equitable data stewardship.
TL;DR I am passionate about creating stronger, interoperable, data systems that improve data quality for better estimates, contributing to our understanding of urgent global challenges such as climate change, antimicrobrial resistance, food security, and zoonotic disease.
