Hi there, I’m Oliver 👋

I’m a scientific software engineer, data scientist, and electrochemist. My work sits at the intersection of mathematical transport modeling, numerical simulation methods, and accessible open-source Python development.

I am the creator and lead maintainer of Soft Potato, an open-source Python library designed to bring robust 1D electrochemical simulations and solvers to domain specialists and researchers.

🔬 Core Focus & Expertise

  • Electrochemical Modeling & Transport Physics: Developing numerical solvers for transient diffusion, migration, convection, and coupled reaction kinetics across electrochemical systems.
  • Scientific Software Engineering: Architecting modular, high-performance Python libraries utilizing clean API designs, rigorous test suites (pytest), and static documentation pipelines (MkDocs with the Material theme and Diátaxis framework).
  • Systems Architecture: Operating within Debian Linux environments, orchestrating containerized services with Docker Compose, and deploying self-hosted developer tooling.

💻 Tech Stack & Tooling

  • Languages & Core Ecosystem: Python, Bash, HTML/CSS/JS
  • Scientific & Data Tooling: NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, Pytest, Gnuplot
  • Development Environment: Debian Linux, Vim, VS Code, Git, GitHub
  • Infrastructure & Documentation: Docker Compose
