About Me

I'm Drew, a geoscientist with 20+ years of geoscience experience and a background in computer science. I work at the boundary between geology and data science — and I'm always looking for ways to bring data, code, and exploration together.

Currently, I’m Director of Geodata at Atha Energy, and wrapping up my MSc thesis focused on natural language processing and geoscientific knowledge extraction.

Want to collaborate, contribute, or talk about bots in the bush? I’m all ears. Reach out via email or drop a comment on any post.
