I am an ecological software developer, spatial data scientist, and the owner of Lankston Consulting, LLC based in Seattle, WA. I design custom software, cloud pipelines, and machine learning models to solve complex natural resource management and ecological questions at scale.

🌾 Fuelcast
An advanced projection tool utilizing remote sensing and machine learning to map near real-time rangeland forage production and fuel conditions across the Western US. Helps managers and fire specialists predict grazing capacity and fire hazards.
A high-performance C++ simulator designed to model non-forested vegetation succession, biomass, fuel characteristics, and fire/grazing disturbances. It integrates directly with the U.S. Forest Service's Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) to provide comprehensive landscape-level projections.
When I’m not building cloud data pipelines or ecological simulators, you can find me playing traditional Irish music in the Seattle session scene. 🎻
Feel free to reach out for collaborations on geospatial software, ecological modeling, or cloud data architecture!
