I am quantitative ecologist by day and a hobbyist programmer by night. I primarily use R for stats and enjoy exploratory data analysis with ggplot2 . I`ve also begun teaching myself Python for GIS work. I use LaTeX to write typeset documents. I guess I consider myself more of a "quant" rather than programmer, but I generally enjoy programming. I use emacs as my editor. When not on a computer, I enjoy reading, cycling, kayaking, scuba diving, and most outdoor activities. ©
