Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Ziegler is a postdoctoral researcher and Innovation Fellow with 12 years of experience building applied software and research tools at the intersection of environmental science, biotech, and policy. He studies how NGOs and government agencies can realistically harness emerging technologies—prototyping practical AI/LLM, mobile, and traceability systems for marine governance while critically examining equity and implementation limits. His background blends full‑stack development and biomedical/NLP tool building (Python/Django, Flask, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Angular/React) with on-the-ground field work in biodiversity and primate behavior. Past projects span farm-to-market apps in India, biodiversity informatics like AntMaps, and biomedical data platforms, giving him a rare combination of technical depth and domain fluency. Based in Seattle, he seeks roles that translate innovative tech into measurable environmental and biotech impact.
