Welcome! This is my self-hosted, coded-from-scratch website. It is honestly more of a passion project than anything else, but has some information about who I am and the work I've done. Feel free to check it out and I hope you enjoy!
I'm a tech-nerdy, music-loving outdoors enthusiast. Some of my hobbies include hiking, biking, climbing, kayaking, photography, coding, gaming, 3D printing, working on my car, and listening to and producing music (to name a few).
I am an environmental consultant who specializes in avian and wildlife surveys, wetlands and streams, and pollinators. I have experience in academic research, public sector, and private consulting fields. My skills include biological and ecological surveying (including threatened and endangered species surveys), wetland delineations and assessments, technical report writing, and identification of birds, butterflies, aquatic invertebrates, mammals, and plants. I also have academic and professional experience in Geographic Information Systems, including ArcGIS Pro and QGIS, as well as experience with programming and data analysis in Python and R. I earned my B.S. in Forestry, Fisheries, and Wildlife from The Ohio State University, where I completed an undergraduate research project on monarch butterfly habitat conservation in urban areas. For more details about my experience, you can find my resume here or visit my LinkedIn.
I run an Instagram page for my work and research with monarch butterflies, @cade.and.his.monarchs. You can also visit my LinkedIn for more details about my professional achievements.
I believe AI is an excellent tool and should be used with discretion. I also believe we have the right to know when content is AI generated. I used AI to aid in the creation of the structure and styling of this website. All the content, including my profile and all images, was created by me.
