Name and Pronouns

I go by "Brock" in conversation and use they/them pronouns in English, sie/sie in German.

In "Full Name" situations (official documents, paper authorship, etc.), I use "Katrina Brock".

Profession

I work for the Max Plank Insitute of Animal Behavior supporting scientists in their data management and programming needs.

I lead the development of trackframe and travelpaths.

Materials for workshops I've run can be found here.

Open Source

I also enjoy making smallish contributions to existing projects. I particularly enjoy contributing to the infrastructure aspect of projects in the R ecosystem.

Examples:

• HTML Validation for bookdown
• Performance Improvement in ctmm
• Mocking cmdstand in cmdstanr testing

I also love to both give and recieve detailed feedback on code and processes. It's a great way to learn!
