Software Engineer
I built and deployed a scientific LBSPR (Length-Based Spawning Potential Ratio) API for a research application. This integration involved programming with R, containerization with Docker, and deploying cloud-based infrastructure using Amazon Web Services (AWS). The solution enhanced the application's analytical capabilities, enabling more precise parameter estimations and efficient data processing for complex ecological and fisheries research.
