ABOUT ME

Self-taught programmer with over 25 years experience — including 8+ years with Python. Uses Python for data science and app development.

A self-taught programmer with over 25 years experience dating back to the days of the ZX Spectrum and Sam Coupé. After dabbling in IT, I took a 7 year detour into biology, completing a Medical Science (BMedSc) degree, masters (MRes) and PhD in the metabolomics of inflammatory diseases, where I found myself using code to solve analysis problems. I had unexpectedly become a “bioinformatician”. Following a 2 year post-doctorate in bioinformatics and proteomics, I moved out of academic research to focus full-time on software development.

I now work full-time as a freelance software developer and data scientist, using Python for data analysis, visualisation and application development. Based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, I am open to remote work both locally and internationally.

I code most happily in Python but remain familiar with a long list of languages that I learnt along the way including C, MATLAB, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Prolog, R, Sam BASIC and z80 ASM.
