We are working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and partners under the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy to develop front-end applications that make it easier for users to explore and understand conservation blueprints in the Southeastern U.S.
We have been working closely with the Marine Conservation Institute to build and improve a brand new, easy-to-use, data-rich version of the Marine Protection Atlas to more effectively showcase key information about marine protection worldwide

The New Zealand Department of Conservation needed to test budget allocation approaches as part of its 10-year master budget planning. I created a rapid pilot application to help the department quickly visualize, compare, and evaluate different approaches to allocating budgets as part of this overall effort.
I helped lead a workshop focused on integrating bat acoustic monitoring portals in order to create a more cohesive, centralized data system. This system will make it easier for users to share data they are already collecting about bats and empower scientists and decision makers with greater breadth, depth, and quality of data on bats.
