Hi there 👋

  • I love making data tools in R
  • I know I ought to blog about my learning but I never get round to it
  • I'm a big fan of functional programming, APIs, markdown, reproducibility...
  • ... and, in theory, test-driven development
  • I have several R projects here in my pinned repos that you can help with if you like!
  • Ask me about: purrr, sf and APIs. And trying to get a proper HTML5 template in RMarkdown.

Advent of Code 2022

Advent of Code is a really fun and pretty challenging programming adventure/game/competition that happens every December.

In 2022 I am back doing it in R. I'd like to try JavaScript again in future. Or perhaps Haskell will be the flavour of the month in December 2023...?

Here's my AoC repository.

Advent of Code 2021 👨🏼‍💻

I challenged myself to do this in JavaScript rather than R. It was a rather slow process!
