Travis Zalesky

Hello world!

My name is Travis Zalesky, and this is my personal Project Portfolio Webpage.

I am an ecologist, and a mycologist with 10+ years of experience. You can check out my LinkedIn profile, browse my Github page, or take a look at my resume.

I am interested in Natural Resource Sciences and Data Science, and I am especially interested in combining these two fields. I want to use big data to help manage natural resources, protect our environment, and inform environmental policy.

I am currently furthering my education in Geographic Information Systems Technology (GIST) at The University of Arizona, and I also have over a decades experience collecting and analyzing ecological data, specializing in use of R for data analysis and figure generation. More recently I have also begun developing custom apps using the R shiny package and I have been trying to grow my coding skills in Python and JavaScript through use of freeCodeCamp tutorials. You can view my certifications and projects here, as well as certain other projects hosted in my github repository.

This page will highlight some of my experience and expertise through various work samples, with an emphasis on GIST projects.

I'm open to work and looking for research collaborators. If you see something you like, feel free to contact me at travisz@arizona.edu.
