Jed Irvine brought more than two decades of experience in software engineering to his work supporting a number of projects in the Intelligent Systems group at Oregon State University. Bird migration (especially raptors) has been a lifelong passion for him, and for Birdcast Jed built a web application to support rapid labeling of radar images by experts that was critical for the early advances in BirdCast methodologies to extract bird information from radar data. Jed’s current passion is a small coaching practice he has started, focused on helping graduate students elevate their collaboration skills and work habits. In May of 2020 he launched The Grad Student Coach Podcast.
