Programming

I am a strong advocate for open and inclusive scholarship. Throughout my work, I’ve frequently found myself rewriting complex Stata code from scratch, an experience that inspired two key initiatives: publishing custom Stata programs and sharing open code for public datasets to save others time. Below, you’ll also find archived OSF project resources in the spirit of full transparency and reproducibility.
