"It definitely feels like we had a head start on the project and could jump straight into our science."

"We can now confidently say that our current model operates at its absolute technological limit."

NeSI and Genomics Aotearoa are consulting with researchers to guide the ongoing development of a new data repository for genomic data.

"Nationally, and as a global citizen, we are under increasing pressure to make informed decisions regarding commercial and recreational activities, and how they can be balanced with the protection of our marine ecosystems. "

"Through the Consultancy with NeSI, I was able to develop my code to be far more efficient."

“I will now be able to make better maps of environmental variables, and hence much better models of species distributions."

James Shepherd wanted to reduce the turnaround time for processing his data, so he applied for a Consultancy project with NeSI research software engineers.

"During the consultancy I learned a great deal about how to program efficiently, implement unit testing, and how seemingly tiny changes to a script can have a great effect on the required time and computer resources."

“The driving force wasn’t so much the problem itself, but the need to share expertise across New Zealand. We wanted to elevate the software community’s skills and our own.”
