Hi, I'm Alex

I'm a computational ecologist with a Ph.D. in biology and over a decade of research experience. My academic work focuses on climate change impacts, plant ecology, and developing better methods for ecological data science.

On the side, I've discovered a passion for building websites. What started as helping fellow researchers create academic portfolios has grown into working with small businesses and professionals in Canada who want a web presence that feels authentic to who they are.
