Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet!

I’m a London-based neuroscientist and research software engineer passionate about open, collaborative, and reproducible science.

I build open-source tools to study brains and the behaviours they produce, and I lead movement — a Python package for analysing animal motion. With a background in medicine and a PhD in neuroimaging, I’ve kept a long-standing interest in computational neuroanatomy, contributing to BrainGlobe and helping create new brain atlases for emerging model organisms.

As a Fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute, I work to spread the adoption of open-source tools for animal behaviour, especially through training workshops for early-career researchers.
