My MS is in maritime archaeology and I work as an investigative consultant, GIS analyst, and farmer. Coding comes up in all three capacities and I'm always trying to learn more.
  1. For the past eight months I've been teaching myself Python and other tools, in order to create a rudimentary ocean drift trajectory model to support my thesis research (in maritime archaeology). I started from scratch,…
