Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Healy is a senior software engineer with 25+ years applying scientific programming to Earth sciences, currently developing analysis software for satellite and airborne ocean color instruments at NASA Goddard. He combines deep climate-modeling experience—contributing to IPCC-related work and coupling high-resolution components—with practical systems and data-analysis engineering across MATLAB, Python-era workflows, and web/database tools. His background spans research institutions and operational labs (Columbia, Woods Hole) where he built bespoke pipelines for large, multi-century climate datasets and AMS sample tracking. Based in Washington, DC, he pairs hands-on coding with domain expertise in remote sensing and atmospheric forcing, and remains an avid hardware/software tinkerer who keeps learning and bridging research and production systems.
