Zhian N. Kamvar

I am a recovering bioinformatician and Research Software Engineer, responsible for developing The Carpentries Workbench.

I have been developing R packages in the realms of population genetics, epidemiology, reproducible research, and publication since 2012. I enjoy cats 🐈‍⬛, baking 🥖, mushroom hunting 🍄, bad horror movies 👻, and good speculative fiction 📚.

I am on sabbatical and will be looking for work starting March 2024

Some of my projects include:

  • {sandpaper}: lesson engine for The Carpentries Workbench
  • {tinkr} (with Maëlle Salmon): conversion from Markdown to XML and back again
  • {poppr}: population genetics toolkit for clonal and/or sexual populations
  • {aweek}: conversion from datetimes to weeks starting on any day of the week
