Hi there 👋

I'm James (he/him), from Dublin in Ireland. I studied Theoretical Physics in Trinity College Dublin. I am interested in Applied Math and Game theory - particularly in relation to Ecology. I'd love to do a PhD in this area at some point, if the stars align 😄.

I currently work in a Quant Research department for a trading company.

I have worked at:

• CRH, Mostly Investor relations
• Conjura, Analytics, Product Lead & Engineering Manager

There are some open source items that I have worked / am working on:

• A Universal Semantic Layer (still private, slow WIP with a friend of mine)
• DBT (I've used it a lot, have a love/hate relationship with it, am a package maintainer, and have been invovled with the duckdb adapter)
• PuffinDB (mostly giving product guidance)
• Pypulation, a python library for population dynamics (it's too basic to be useful right now)

And a few ideas I have for the future:

• A SQL supporting data lake powered by single table design on dynamoDB (not designed to be useful)
• Opinionated SQL linter for building sensible sql pipelines
• DuckDB extension for FMRI data
