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 (MkDocswith 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
