ABOUT AUSTEN SOROCHAK
I bridge environmental science and technology, using data analytics, visualization, and software development to track and communicate the impact of ocean research infrastructure.On the software side, my core stack includes JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL, with experience deploying to AWS and Google Cloud Platform.I’ve developed applications for renewable energy analytics, ecological data visualization, oceanography data management, and bioacoustics research, combining open data, machine learning, and modern web technologies. I enjoy connecting science and software to make environmental insights more accessible and actionable.Prior to transitioning into tech, I worked in environmental management, gaining hands-on experience with field data systems, regulatory frameworks, and cross-functional teams. My technical expertise is complemented by strong leadership and communication abilities, developed through managing digital systems integration and team operations in the environmental sector.I thrive in roles that blend software development, data systems, and real-world impact — whether in climate tech, scientific tools, or other mission-driven domains.
