Top SchoolPatrick Upson is a seasoned software-minded Physical Scientist with 13 years of experience building data-driven tools for oceanographic research and operations out of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

A lifelong learner and teacher, he thrives on puzzles and removing roadblocks for researchers, having led projects from metadata tools and iceberg-tracking to automated data publishing and mapping. Comfortable leading small teams or working independently, he also brings project management discipline and volunteer leadership from roles on technical boards and nonprofit web stewardship.
