More about me
My daily work combines analyzing forest inventory and spatial data, providing technical support to government institutions and delivering hands-on training, reporting and communication on forests and climate change. Plus a small portion project management.
I am a huge fan of the project, its amazing community and the tools and packages developed by Rstudio. After being a long time base R coder, I recently switched to the {tidyverse}
for the clarity of its functions, its code readability and beginner friendliness.
I am also an avid users of Rstudio communication oriented packages, {rmarkdown}
and {bookdown}
for reports and web documents, {shiny}
for dashboards and {blogdown}
for websites. These tools are a game changer in communicating data analysis results in a dynamic and interactive way. They help a lot in making data and stats more fun to work with and more engaging for decision-makers.
In my free time, I like learning new R skills, web development and web design. I also have a few off line passions, mostly cooking and traveling to forests and nature
