[ Research Software ]
I build websites, data explorers, and tools for labs, small organisations, and technical projects. I'm an MSc Microbiology student at the University of Canterbury, so I'm comfortable with scientific material and messy data.

[ Live project ]
A public field guide to New Zealand's geothermal springs. I designed and built it to bring together microbial diversity, chemistry, site records, methodology, and safety context for 792 sites across the Taupō Volcanic Zone.

The live explorer works best full screen.
Open full explorerData from the 1000 Springs Project (GNS Science and University of Waikato), used under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. This is an independent, non-commercial educational tool and does not imply dataset ownership or endorsement.
[ Selected work ]
A browser-based simulator for batch and fed-batch phycocyanin production from Galdieria. Models growth, substrate consumption, pigment accumulation, and harvest timing. Developed as part of MSc thesis research at the University of Canterbury.
A professional learning platform for New Zealand teachers and school leaders. Covers professional boundary frameworks with self-paced modules, in-app progress tracking, and compliance reporting. Built for deployment across New Zealand schools.
[ What I build ]
Tools shaped around real research, data, and technical work.
Credible homes for labs, grants, and theses. Methods, datasets, publications, and findings presented clearly for the people who need them.
[ Thesis research ]
Natural blue pigments are hard to produce at scale. Galdieria may offer a fermentation-based route better suited to acidic food applications than traditional light-dependent Spirulina systems.
[ Profile ]
I'm an MSc Microbiology student at the University of Canterbury, based in New Zealand. My research focuses on extremophilic microalgae, fermentation, natural pigments, and waste-to-value biotechnology.
Outside the lab I build websites and data tools for researchers, educators, and small organisations. Open to selected projects.
