Welcome to my GitHub!
I’m a data analyst at the Department for Education (DfE), specialising in schools data and analysis. My strongest tools are R and SQL, which I use to build robust, automated pipelines that ensure high-quality, reproducible outputs. I also work with Python and the Power Platform (Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps) to streamline workflows and enhance productivity.
- 📈 Build and maintain R-based data pipelines for analysis and reporting
- 🧮 Use SQL to wrangle and query complex datasets
- 🐍 Expand my capabilities with Python for automation and integration
- ⚙️ Leverage Power Platform tools to connect systems and automate tasks
Outside of work, I’m just as hands-on:
- 🏠 Automating my home with Home Assistant, using a mix of custom and off-the-shelf sensors
- 🗣️ Replacing Google and Alexa devices with Home Assistant and Ollama for local voice control
- 🎥 Running a self-hosted stack including Frigate, TrueNAS, Immich, Jellyfin, and Nextcloud
- 🌳 Developing a system to automate fruit tree maintenance with sensors and smart watering
- 🧩 Tinkering, repairing, and gaming on PC
- 👨👧👦 Raising four wonderful kids
- Deepen my Python skills
- Share useful tools, scripts, and automations
- Connect with others who love data, DIY tech, and smart systems
