Hi there

This is where I open source stuff and break things 🤣

• 🔭  I’m currently working on understanding open source software development, user-centered design, and the Salish Sea ecosystem.
• 🌱  Recently, I've been learning about: AWS, Azure, Python, and OrbitDB.
• 💬  Ask me about anything related to oceanography or marine bioacoustics.
• 📫  How to reach me: via Gmail (sveirs), in Orcasound chats on Zulip, Github Discussions here, or achyderm.io/@sveirs
• 👨‍💻  Read more about my work projects at beamreach.blue
• ⚡  Fun fact: I ❤️ mountaineering and raiding

My Opensource Story

I am on a steep learning curve -- as a project manager, sometimes-creative, and wannabe-developer -- helping guide the amazing Orcasound open source design and development community towards successful conservation of soniferous marine life, starting with endangered orcas (aka Southern Resident killer whales).
