Hi, my name is Tom Vo. I am a software engineer in the LLNL Climate Program and a member of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) and Simplifying ESM Analysis Through Standards (SEATS) projects. I contribute to numerous open-source scientific software for climate science, including leading the development of Xarray Climate Data Analysis Tools (xCDAT). I am formerly a member of the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) Project where I was the lead full-stack web developer for MetaGrid, ESGF’s next-generation search portal for climate data.

My interests and expertise are in scientific Python package development, full-stack web-development, and DevOps engineering.
