Hi, I’m Pete, Data and Visualization Librarian at Johns Hopkins University.
I love the statistical programming language R, cycling 🚲, and sprawling used bookstores with ornery owners.
I studied computational topology at Tulane, exploring the importance of cancer morphology in diagnosis and prognosis, finishing my Ph.D. in 2020. During my Ph.D. I cofounded an automated digital pathology company, Instapath. I developed educational materials and taught workshops for the Tulane Library, as well as becoming a certified Software Carpentries instructor, before moving into libraries full time. I am open to new projects and collaborations, and you can find me on GitHub or LinkedIn.
I live in Bethesda with my wife and our dog Chewie - named for the New Orleans Mardi Gras walking parade Chewbacchus.
