After an eclectic early career including cream teas, optoelectronics and fine art, I find myself now balancing on the geek/wonk interface - translating tech to the non-tech and vice versa, trying to help people get something useful out of what they do. I divide my time between data science, open data training and advice, gaming, and creative arts. Specialities: Data handling and analysis, performance management, open data, human-centred design, data visualisation, sketch notes, visual minutes, mind mapping.
