I'm Andrew (he/him) (say my name). Data Scientist HEO in DSMT, ELM, Defra. Started March 2021, in DSET. I work from home, Leeds. I typically work 9:00-17:30, but take advantage of flexitime for when I don't feel productive. Easiest way to contact me is Teams, I like chat and calls. PM to give me honest feedback, I'm trying to improve.
In DSMT I focus on the population simulation, GIS analysis, data access, software infrastructure (CDAP and SCE). I like to work with Python if I get a choice, and a bit of a stickler for using git and linting. I try to follow Uncle Bob's Clean Code mantra: 'The only way to go fast, is to go well!'. I like to think; by working for Defra I am helping improve environmental policy and practice, even as a farming illiterate mathematician.
My 16 personalities result is ISTP-A. Which means... 🤷. Maybe this implies reasons; why I'm never your first choice presenter, why I dive deep into rabbit holes learning programming, or why I avoid reading. Or why I created this instead of working, or Conscious Contours while not working.
