He/Him/Jim

I am a Data Scientist in the Data Science Research team at Smart Data Foundry, Edinburgh.

I'm a big R fan, with an interest in software development and Data Engineering.

I take great pleasure in eliminating friction at work and encouraging people to share practices where it feels right.

I am a collaborator on the lambdr R package. lambdr is an R runtime for AWS Lambda, making it possible to deploy R code as containerised Lambda functions.

My side project is working through the backend engineering course at boot.dev.
