Top SchoolBen Donnelly is an Associate in Research and full-stack/DevOps engineer at Duke University's Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab with over a decade building scalable geospatial web applications, cloud infrastructure, and data repositories for conservation science. He blends GIS cartography, data visualization, and backend systems—working with NASA, the US Navy, the UN and USGS—to deliver high-visibility tools like MiCO.eco and seamap.env.duke.edu that support policy and species modeling. Comfortable from JavaScript front ends through PostgreSQL/PostGIS and server virtualization, he also leads technical workshops and capacity-building in international science contexts. A former senior systems administrator, he has a long track record of migrating complex research IT environments to open-source stacks and designing multi-tenant CMS and data-sharing platforms. Notably, he helped integrate ocean biodiversity datasets into global products such as Google Oceans and iOBIS, demonstrating an uncommon mix of scientific communication, multimedia production, and deep systems engineering.
