Hi, I'm Colton.
I'm a software engineer building global water data infrastructure at the Lincoln Institute, a leading non-partisan land policy think tank in Cambridge Massachusetts. I'm a Princeton CS alum.
I currently work on geospatial APIs, data pipelines, and the distributed systems that tie global water data together.
Outside of work I enjoy learning languages, hiking, and drawing.
