Summary
👤
SeniorJonathan Rees is a research-focused software engineer and architect specializing in biodiversity informatics, taxonomy, and data interoperability. With 15 years of experience, he has designed and led large-scale data systems—from Creative Commons' metadata, licensing, and an RDF biomedical knowledge federation (0.5 billion triples) to the Open Tree of Life phylogenetic aggregator at Duke, and he contributed to W3C’s Technical Architecture Group. Currently a Research Affiliate at Arizona State University, he assesses the impact of taxonomic changes on data, after roles in software engineering at MIT and self-employed practice. His work spans data design, curation, inference, federation, publishing, and linking, blending biological insight with scalable data workflows and open-data standards. Based in Salem, Massachusetts, he holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT, an SM in Computer Science from MIT, and a BS in Computer Science and Mathematics from Yale.
