Hello!
I'm Marie-Hélène Burle—Marie for short—or prosoitos on programming sites.
Evolutionary and behavioural ecologist by training, I am an open source advocate and Software/Data Carpentry Instructor with a passion for scientific computing.
After several years at WestGrid and Compute Canada, I am now working as a research solutions specialist for Simon Fraser University and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada developing programming and machine learning workshops, webinars, and courses for researchers.
