Leila Belabbassi is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building data-centric cyberinfrastructure for oceanographic systems and observatories. She combines deep domain expertise in physical oceanography (PhD) with practical skills in Python, MATLAB and shell scripting to automate QA/QC, ingest multi-GB datasets, and maintain relational oceanographic databases. At organizations from Rutgers and Texas A&M to Tetra Tech and Helix, she has improved system reliability, quantified CI health with metrics and dashboards, and translated field instrument behavior into actionable software fixes. She also designs and delivers training and outreach to bridge scientists, operators and software teams, improving data quality workflows and user experience. Leila’s work has strengthened real‑time and long‑term observing systems across the Gulf of Mexico, Arabian and Mediterranean seas, and she has a track record of turning complex environmental instrumentation challenges into scalable, repeatable data pipelines.
