About

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

I’m a developer, interested in applied aspects of football statistics, machine learning and computer vision.

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 was a good format for that.
