Summary
Emily Cooper is a data engineer with 11 years of multidisciplinary experience who blends strong data engineering and analysis skills with a background in wildlife biology and field research. Currently at GOBHI, she has moved large-scale data (billions of records) between systems using Python and Apache Kafka and has a track record of designing robust error-checking and data management processes. Her career spans roles from compiler engineering contributions to VyperLang to hands-on ecological fieldwork — giving her a rare combination of production data systems expertise and deep domain understanding of ecological data collection and survey methods. A natural communicator and client-facing problem-solver, she’s led client projects, founded and ran a small business, and authored SOPs for sustainability consulting. Based in Bend, Oregon, Emily is curious, meticulous, and driven to translate messy real-world data into reliable, auditable insights that support both technical and conservation goals.
