I build statistical and research tools that make evidence synthesis, biostatistics, and scientific publishing more reproducible.
My work sits mostly at the intersection of R, Python, Bayesian modeling, meta-analysis, research integrity, and GNU/Linux.
Current focus
- Population-adjusted indirect treatment comparisons and evidence synthesis methods
- R packages and Shiny tools for biostatistics workflows
- Research integrity tooling for citations, retractions, and DOI validation
- Practical automation for statistical programming and open science

Tools I use
How I think about software
Good research software should be:
- Reproducible enough for another analyst to rerun it.
- Transparent enough for a reviewer to audit it.
- Documented enough for a tired user to understand it.
- Small and boring where possible; cleverness is not a substitute for reliability.
GitHub at a glance
Open science over closed claims. Reproducible code over screenshots. Useful tools over vanity metrics.
