Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet!

I’m a London-based neuroscientist and research software engineer dedicated to developing free, open-source tools for studying brains and the behaviours they produce.

I lead the development of movement — a Python package for analysing animal body movements across space and time. As a self-proclaimed brain cartographer, I also harbour a passion for neuroanatomy and contribute to the BrainGlobe project.

I’m deeply committed to promoting open, collaborative, and reproducible science. I find joy in dancing to jazz and folk music.
