About the Developer
Jodi Caple
I currently work as a forensic anthropologist with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency Laboratory (contracted through SNA International). I graduated with a PhD from the University of Queensland in 2018, with a research focus on skeletal analysis, morphometrics, and computer vision. Due to continual advancements in the discipline, I also dabble in web and app development.
