I'm Jacob. I like writing code, and want to write more of it 👨💻
My background is in maths, and I've worked with the UK Government as a data scientist/operational researcher for 4+ years, but I'm now looking to pivot into a more software-focused role. If you're recruiting for an R expert with a knack for training and an itch to get into other tech, please get in touch!

updateme - An R package which modifies
library()to notify you about outdated packages when you load them -
tidyverse-dev-bot - a twitter bot tweeting updates to Tidyverse R packages using GitHub actions
-
ggborderline - a ggplot2 extension for making slightly nicer line plots (made for use in my job)
-
pedant - a code-styling tool I made to help my colleagues convert R projects into R packages
-
r-best-practice - a one-page primer document addressing the most common issues I see in code at work
-
pivotr - an implementation of Excel's pivot tables in R. This was made to help colleagues get familiar with R/Tidyverse pivoting syntax, and to show off my skills with shiny.
-
advent-of-code - for now this is where you can go if you want to see my efforts in other languages (like Rust)
