I am a PhD research scientist at University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Rstudio Tidyverse Instructor. I am also a consultant, a speaker and Professor. I teach Biology and Management of Weed Species and Data Science to undergrad and graduate students. Also, I help growers to improve decision-making on weed management. Contrary to popular belief, I do research in weed but not that kind of weed. I am passionate about plant science, data science, and programming.
