Hello, I’m Laurent
Welcome to my digital lab! I am a data scientist at the University of Tasmania (UTAS), working closely with marine data and observations.
This blog is a space where I document my technical “wanders”—ranging from data science and oceanography to the general nerdery of building things.

I spend my time working with oceanographic datasets and contributing to the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). Lately, I’ve mostly been focused on creating a Python library to convert all IMOS data into Cloud Optimised formats such as Zarr and Parquet.
