About Me

I currently find myself working as a data analyst (data scientist?) in the private sector, after several years in public sector organisations. My academic background is mathematical logic and theoretical computer science, and I spent some years working in libraries. Most of my time outside of work is consumed by my young family for now.

I occasionally find time to play around with code and data for my own curiosity, and having a blog is proving to be an easy and convenient place to publish things I want to share.

Disclaimer

Nothing in here is my own view, but was forced upon me at gunpoint by my wife. (Apologies to Peter Gutmann.)

More seriously, this site is entirely personal — any views are nothing to do with any previous, current, or future employers.

Colophon

The blog is written in R markdown, produced with the Distill R package, and hosted on GitHub Pages.
