Programmer, Scientist, and Data Visualizer
Welcome and thanks for stopping by. Take a little browse around if you feel like it. Give me a shout if you’d like to collaborate, write code with me, have coffee, paint together, or just to say hi!
I'm Michelle Weirathmueller. I have a PhD in oceanography and a background in underwater acoustics and signal processing. Over the past several years, much of my work has focused on animal movement modeling and underwater noise exposure assessments. I love writing code and diving into complex datasets, transforming them into intuitive graphics and interactive visualizations that make information accessible to everyone.
I recently founded Waveform Analytics, where I bring together my passion for data with my expertise in coding and visualization. At Waveform Analytics, I provide services in data visualization, data analysis, and scientific programming.
With my background in science, engineering, and illustration, I’m your go-to person for projects that involve quantitative analysis, software development, science communication—or all of the above!
A brief summary.
Is there anything more satisfying than cleaning up and organizing a giant, messy dataset?
Oh but then there’s the part where you take the nice dataset and figure out what it all means. (I WILL take the FFT, don’t think I won’t)
What’s that saying... a graphic is worth a thousand numbers? Or a bazillion numbers? Either way – I’ll make it pretty and informative.
If I’m writing code all day long, it is a great day. (Python, R, Matlab, Java, and more recently – Dart and Flutter)
Ditching jargon and making science understandable since 2005.
Technical, scientific, and just-for-fun illustration. Vector and raster goodness, whether it’s for a wedding invitation, a logo, a greenhouse gas infographic, or a travel poster – I’m your gal.
