About

I need a website to keep my blogs live and so thought I’d keep an online profile here too.

I’m a developer, interested in football statistics, machine learning and generally using development to aid people in my areas of interest. Ask and I might even show you some of my creations

Timeline

I read my cv and found I was writing about the things I thought would help me in getting a job (not that I am looking).

I decided I’d rather mention the things I’m proud of, and a timeline does a good job of that, so here goes.
