Frog Work
what the heck am i doing with those frogs
This podcast from NPR does a great job describing the motivation for my work and how its being applied. The video is not as descriptive but you can see the California Red-legged Frog there.

Custom ML Training Framework
To aid in my model development I have been building this application. It automates the full ML pipeline - from data prep through hyperparameter sweeps, training, inference, and model evaluation. You can just set a single config and then click "go". It will train and evaluate hundreds of models while you sleep. I'm pretty stoked on it, and plan to package it to send out to the bioacoustic community in 2026.
Instinct Environmental
Im also currently leading software development at Instinct environmental, the only company making solar powered, satelite capable, ML-edge computing audio recorders. Its really cool getting to make this new technology a reality, and I enjoy the quick development style of the startup. Sam the bullfrog slayer will use this for rapid alerts of bullfrog invasions in sensitive habitat.
Worlds first Vespa-powered real-time anuran accoustics device deployment?
Ribbit Radar
This is an archive of the first ML audio detecton system I got working for the California Red-legged Frog. It used an audio-spectrogram transformer, and I built a simple GUI for it. The model wasnt great, and neither was the application, but I wasnt getting paid yet so what can you expect.
