My research:

Growing the Pythonic HEP ecosystem, particularly as lead developer of Uproot and Awkward Array.

My expertise is:

Python, vertical scaling, array-oriented programming.

A problem I’m grappling with:

Involving more people in scientific Python, both as users and developers, bridging Awkward Array with everything, including ROOT and RDataFrame, generalizing its applicability beyond HEP.

I’ve got my eyes on:

Julia, portable GPU programming, Arrow, Parquet, Zarr.

I want to know more about:

What everyone else is working on/thinking about… the direction of HEP analysis software today.
