Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Wilshire is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building tools for conservation and ecology, currently developing research and outreach software in Yale’s Jetz Lab. He combines practical full‑stack skills in R, Python, JavaScript, and C++ with a strong quantitative background (BS in Ecology and Mathematics & Statistics from UNSW) to turn large remote‑sensing datasets into browser‑based mapping tools. At UNSW he helped create an ecosystem monitoring platform using Google Earth Engine to let non‑experts rapidly generate large‑scale maps, and earlier work spans product development at a small tech studio and hands‑on IT support. Based in New Haven and fascinated by plants, birds, and coffee, he blends domain knowledge in ecology with production engineering to make conservation data more accessible.
