Who is David Friggens? Why is he taking up precious space on the web?
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.
A random sample of technical books from my shelves (some of which I have read):
Preferred comments/contact is via Twitter. Alternatively, you can reach me by changing a dot to an @ in the domain.
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.
The blog is written in R markdown, produced with the Distill R package, and hosted on GitHub Pages.
