Hi, I'm

Ebenezer Ogoe

I'm an MSc student in plant breeding and genetics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I simulate breeding programmes, mostly in R.

I also write software. Most of it comes out of lab and field work, though some comes from exploring how old games work.

Read about my research, or see the things I've built.

Selected work

R packages · 2026

FounderForge

Tools used

  • R
  • Shiny
  • golem
  • AlphaSimR
  • vcfR
  • data.table
  • ggplot2

A Shiny app that turns real marker data into an AlphaSimR founder population without writing R. Load a VCF, HapMap, numeric or PLINK file, check it, filter it and export what newMapPop() needs.

marker formats it reads, from VCF to PLINK

Apps · 2026

Plotpin

Tools used

  • Kotlin
  • Jetpack Compose
  • Room
  • Paparazzi

An Android app for finding a plant again. I built it to walk back to bagged sorghum plants in a crossing block. Now it works for anyone who marks points in a field.

Colony Counter

Tools used

  • Python
  • Ultralytics YOLO26
  • ONNX Runtime
  • Kotlin
  • Jetpack Compose
  • CVAT

An Android app that counts bacterial colonies from plate photos, offline. Two small YOLO models do the counting, in about three quarters of a second a plate on my phone.

average error in colonies per plate, against 25.7 for the threshold method

Reverse engineering · 2026

FF Mod Studio

Tools used

  • C++17
  • Dear ImGui
  • miniz
  • HLSL
  • Python
  • Blender

Tools for modding Freedom Fighters, a game from 2003. There's an editor for its textures and models, plus a Blender addon that sends edits back into the game.

textures read from the game, none failing to decode
23,522
meshes rebuilt from the game's 90 archives
61,424
kinds of edit confirmed in the running game, not just in the file

Collection

R tools for people who don't code

Point-and-click apps for jobs that normally mean writing R. Each one is an R package that installs like any other. All four are on my r-universe.

Install all of them

install.packages(
  c("FounderForge", "ggwizard", "linkmapper", "clusnalyst"),
  repos = c("https://ebenogoe.r-universe.dev", "https://cloud.r-project.org")
)

There's more on the research and projects pages

The research page has my thesis and the software I wrote for it. Everything else I've built is under projects. If you want to talk about any of it, please see the contact page.
