My work includes data modelling and analysis to categorize anomalous conditions in vehicular systems. I collaborate with Preteckt's team of data scientists, engineers, and diesel technicians to provide Vehicle Prognostics as a Service. -I've spent most of my career as a Data Scientist and Researcher, working on the [OSIRIS](https://research-groups.usask.ca/osiris) satellite mission at the University of Saskatchewan. +My background in data science comes from working on [OSIRIS](https://research-groups.usask.ca/osiris), a Canadian satellite instrument in operation aboard the Swedish Odin satellite. Launched in 2001, OSIRIS has collected two decades of high resolution spectral data of the atmosphere to provide information on the extent to which humans are changing the atmospheric environment, specifically through the study of ozone. As Senior Analyst and Operations Engineer, I was responsible for the data processing pipeline for the instrument. + +My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and has been used to inform global policy decisions on climate.
