I have developed a number of tools some much more experimental than others. It would be remiss of me to not acknowledge extensive use of AI in the production of much of the following code.
A clear focus on R and its implementation in public sector data is evident. My employment in the CSO (I’m currently on career break (travelling) hence some spicier takes on the website) is the main inspiration for packages and utilities produced. Problems faced are ultimately the main motivation for my ideas.
Code can be found codeberg and Github
