<p><i>E komo mai! (Welcome!)</i> As a <!--programmer and data system engineer--> <span class="bioHotPink">data guru</span> and <span class="bioHotPink">mapster</span> at the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (<a href="http://pacioos.org">PacIOOS</a><button type="button" class="audioButton bioInlineAudioButton" title="Play pronunciation of PacIOOS" aria-label="Play pronunciation of PacIOOS" onClick="playPronunciation( 'audioPacioos', this );"><i class="fa fa-volume-up" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>), I create and configure websites and services that provide scientific oceanographic data from a wide variety of sources, including satellite remote sensing, forecast models, and <em>in situ</em> observations (buoys, moorings, gliders, etc.) primarily for the region surrounding Hawaiʻi, but also for other islands across the insular Pacific. Given my background in geography and my experience with geographic information systems (GIS) and programming, I also <!--work on projects related to--> build <span class="bioHotPink">online mapping</span> tools and do dynamic <span class="bioHotPink">data viz</span>. I enjoy making complex scientific geospatial information easier to access, use, and understand, and strive to bridge the gap between science and the general public. <!--Over the years, I have also worked substantially with various geospatial metadata standards, helping to write, validate, translate, broker, and display metadata holdings to aid users and applications in the search, discovery, and acquisition of disparate data set holdings.--></p>
<!--
<p>My <a href="gpr/">Masters
thesis</a> involved software development in ENVI and IDL for processing
and analyzing ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data to assess spatial
variability in snow accumulation patterns in the shallow subsurface
of the Greenland ice sheet, for which I visited Greenland on a <a href="http://cires.colorado.edu/science/groups/steffen/greenland/journal/">research
expedition</a> headed by my advisor, glaciologist and climatologist
<a href="http://cires.colorado.edu/steffen/">Dr. Konrad Steffen</a>.</p>

<p>Having once managed data measuring our planet's melting <span class="bioHotPink">cryosphere</span> at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (<a href="https://nsidc.org" target="_blank">NSIDC</a>), I'm now on the <i>receiving</i> end of all that melt water with data products and forecasts showing the rise in global sea levels that threaten tropical coastlines and low-lying islands. From a geospatial point-of-view, I escaped the quirks of polar map projections in remote Arctic and Antarctic regions only to make neighbors with the International Date Line, where what <i>day</i> it is can get confusing and you need to avoid the ill effects of "wrap-around" at the artificial boundary known as the <span class="bioHotPink">Antimerdian</span>. Is it located at ±180° or 0°/360°? Depends entirely on what you're trying (not) to do!</p>
<p>On a personal note, I'm originally from St. Louis (near historic <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_66">Route
66</a>), <a href="http://ccrma.stanford.edu/%7Eblackrse/" title="View my music homepage at Stanford University.">studied
music</a> at Stanford University, am an avid jazz and blues fan, love watching soccer (the OG "football") and tennis (vamos!) and learning languages (yay, <a href="https://www.duolingo.com">Duolingo</a>)<!--all things latin (food, music, español, fútbol)-->, and
live in Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu with my wife <a href="https://kaseybarton.github.io">Kasey
Barton</a> and our two kids, liberally coated in sunscreen and generally enjoying the views and <span class="bioHotPink">holoholo</span> time whenever can. <!-- During <i>pau hana</i> (after work), I enjoy hitting the beach with my <i>ʻohana</i> (family) or playing <i>mele</i> (music) on the piano. --><i>Aloha!</i></p>
